The horror of war......Nam


Poem Artwork

I was in love with someone
Who was sent off to
A place unknown to us
That place was Nam

He was a kind gentle guy
Always there to lend
A hand to anyone
Who needed it

He got wounded once
Was sent to Hawaii
To be mended
Then Uncle Sam sent him
Back to that jungle

I went to his funeral
Closed coffin
They told me they found
A few pieces of him
And they were in there


I was in love with someone
Who was sent off to
A place unknown to ous
That place was HELL

I love him still

That was tragic, I was married to a man
who came back from Viet Nam he didn't come
back in pieces, but his mind was affected
and then he died later of cancer...

Love and Light

Keep the good memories of the love you had Jane.
