Remembering the Vietnam Veteran

50 Years too Late

 

They came back with scars unseen and many, missing parts

Home was not the same for them, we broke so many hearts

Years go by, people grow, they think they see a different light

So, they asked the Vets forgiveness, to make them feel alright

 

Now 50 years have passed, we have learned and understand

Just how brutally we treated them, here, in their homeland

With so many gone now, when we finally know their plight

We say Thank You, and they forgive us, they believe it’s right

 

They were drafted young Americans, who simply had no choice,

The many countless horrors adding pain to their often-quiet voice

They will be the first to stand to recognize another mangled Vet

and the old wounds that we gave them, they’d rather just forget

 

Why when it’s almost too late, when most of them are gone, forgot

We have to scramble to include them, from facts we were not taught

God forgive US all as we honor why they stood and fought.

And pray for every one of them because our freedoms cannot be bought.
