"If you are able,
Save for them a place
Inside of you...
And save one backward glance
When you are leaving
For the places they can
No longer go
Be not ashamed to say
You loved them,
Though you may or
May not have always
Take what they have left
And what they have taught you
With their dying
And keep it with your own ...
And in that time
When men decide and feel safe
To call the war insane,
Take one moment to embrace
Those gentle heroes
You left behind..."


Written by Army MAJ. Michael Davis O'Donell
New Years day 1970 on a Vietnam battlefield.

The clock of life,
Is but one time wound.
And no man should have
The power to tell at
What hour - late or early -
The hands will finally stop.
