.......many years ago we were at war and i had to go i still remember your smile your grin you never questioned my destination to young to realize bur somehow you showed despair it was present in your eyes i think you knew from the silence about you it was in there barely walking and barely talking you watched as i left for another world never thought i'd see you again marva my little girl i did my best i did my job and barely started i was purple hearted cause charlie did his job too never thought we'd reunite the night gary shifflette fell in the canal see we were ambushed and charlie well charlie put up a good fight and one day in september how well i remember i thought i'd never see you because charlie got me again trying to rescue two men in an ambush near tay ninh this time with a start but another purple heart i felt the angels would take me not back to the battle not back to the world not back to the hounds in cu chi not back to my little girl as i lay there waiting for the copter to get there and bullets and rockets filled the air visions of you appeared in the heavens above and day seemed numbered as i lay with thoughts of those i loved and comrades around me taking the fall how many i don't recall in a bloody firefight near tay ninh i never thought i'd see you again as comrades around me too lay in the field me not knowing if any were killed and the call for medic was heard loud and clear but dying was not waht i feared it was seeing you again that filled my whole being and though i was bleeding never thought i'd see you again and then it would hit me would i return to cu chi to fight with the hounds warriors always and forever or would i see them ever men that found a place in my world men i learned to love men who became to mean as much if not more than at times the thoughts of my little girl these men of cu chi who became family never thought i be with them again and my my little girl in another world never thought i'd see you again but we've been reunited and i've been with the hounds again never thought i'd see you again that day back in a firefight in tay ninh |
