LADY OF THE WALL
A quiet place where crossing of paths were meant Takes up her position just outside the locator tent No glaring signs, neon lights or long lines to circumvent A strong yet very fragile mission is for her the only intent
With darting eyes she sits looking for that special face Seeing gray hair, a thousand yard stare from that far away place Then slowly an attempt is made to enter into a Nam vets space An uncomfortable but genuine "Welcome Home" hug two souls embrace
He came alone to that black wall, cement boots slowing his very start Spinning thoughts of evil emotions erupting from a wounded heart Into a weathered hand a small pin is placed, a new healing to impart Rub it, feel its warm meaning, you are no longer alone no longer apart
Another successful mission accomplished by the lady of the wall Shows a small smile when she knows she has made the right call Shoulders a little remorse knowing she will never meet them all Wall after wall there's the time for you to meet the lady of the wall
TRIBUTE to "lil sis" The real "lady of the wall"
