    Reflections

    It's a clear day The sky is blue the wind is slight
    White clouds go rolling by
    Time for a walk Grass is green the wall is long
    The memories stir up songs

    So many names I can't read my eyes blur
    I know the section I prefer
    It takes so long I memorized names I knew
    Everyplace I go to

    Been a long time Yet I know as a living vet
    I know I won't forget
    Come a long way It was done no fanfare
    Some came home some stayed there

    I've lived a life And I've tried to keep it good
    A legacy of where we stood
    Life ended there Memories I keep with me
    The soldiers I can still see

    I reach out and touch the wall
    The reflections there each one big or small
    There's no words I loved them all
    The men I knew I still recall

    I miss them each and every one
    The battles fought the battles won
    I will never be the same
    With the reflections of each face and name in the wall
