"Looking On The Wall"


A mother with
grey hair looking
on The Wall
for the name
of her lost son.

A broken man in
a wheel chair looking
on The Wall
for the name
of his lost buddy.

A woman with
red rimed eyes looking
on The Wall
for the name
of her lost husband.

A young man with
a sullen face looking
on The Wall
for the name
of his lost father.

A yong woman with
tears falling down her face looking
on The Wall
for the name
of her lost brother.

A father with
grey hair looking
on The Wall
for the name
of his lost son.

These people lost something that can never be replaced
Yet they bear the pain,
and the grief.
They are strong
