A
young pilot that I was very much in love with died in Vietnam. I would
like to leave a poem I wrote when he was killed when his plane was shot
down on 6/2/69. I knew so many wonderful young men who went over there. My
heart broke for them all. If the poem is too long, please put a rose
beside his name. Thank you. GReady There was a war in the year 1969 The year my heart was so alive There was a war in the year 1969 That is the year in which my love died. Why, oh why, and who does care? Everyone says they are so sorry, But the next day no one remembers but me. All the men that are dying to make history? And when this is all over and done, Whose to mend the broken hearts ... what have we won ... what have we lost? 1LT O2 USAF 19450408 19690602 COLUMBIA SC 23W044 |
