YOUR NAME IS NOT ETCHED UPON THE WALL
(To my hero, Dennis with all my love)

Dennis E. Haines – May 2004You fought for freedom in a far off land
In the jungles and rice paddies of Vietnam
A bullet from the enemy made you fall
But your name is not etched upon The Wall

Two bullets took off the side of your head
But you fought to live and you are not dead
You watched your best friend die and fall
But your name is not etched upon The Wall

You refused to give up though life has been tough
Most men would have quit and given up
You fought to live and refused to fall
And your name is not etched upon The Wall

The days of War have long been gone
But the battle to live still rages on
Not all our Heroes had to fall Thank God!
Your name is not etched upon The Wall
