Words that Heal

[stitch]

With Memorial Day coming a lot of us are preparing our Bar-B-Ques
A lot of us are preparing our thoughts and our souls.
This weekend at my gun show I met a Brother, A disabled Vietnam Marine.
We talked a lot, He told me his stories, I told him mine.
I told him of some things that had bothered me for all these years.
This Brother Marine who gave so much hugged me, and said some words to me that changed my life.
He made something that gnawed at me just go away with a few simple words.
He healed a long time wound in me.
Words that meant so much not only because of what they said, But because of who they came from.

To All my Brothers who went before me, Thank you for leading the way.
To All my Brothers who went with me, Thank you for being there … I miss you.
To all My Brothers who now go in my place, Thank you for taking up the fight to keep us Free.
