This Wall
by Richard Preston, 1999
If this Wall could speak, it would tell of war
Of sorrow and pain no man should endure
Of how in an instant a life can end
On a battlefield far away, death unyielding to bend
If this Wall could speak, it would tell of woe
Of total sacrifice few were destined to know
It would tell of courage, it would tell of fear
It would tell of longing for a family so dear
If this Wall could speak to those who pass by
Who stop and stare without comprehending why
Liberty and Freedom come at great cost
America is still free though our lives were lost
If this Wall could speak, this is what it would say
Please remember us as you pass this way
Just love this country that we were faithful to do
Greater love hath no man than to die for you
