For those, a name on the wall

For those, a name on the wall. Letters in glass.

Photos of your face. Tears upon mine.

I thank you so, Your name on a wall.

Medals in a hall. You are neither forgotten nor lost.

Come home to those who love you.

Forgive those who left and those who forget.

How you died for us. Defending the ideals we all needed to believe.

Those who name is on the wall, the wall of those missing or dead.

From a war we cannot forget.
