KNEW

Sandy Lamere Solari
No waving of the red, white and blue.
No tears flowing upon the open sea,
I'm a GI no one even knew.
A reported MIA they day,
A forgotten soul am I.
"Oh God, to you I pray,
It's not how I want to die."
I will not let time forget,
That I did once exist,
I have paid our nation's debt,
I'm the soldier someone should have missed.
I want my nation all around,
To know that I'm still here.
I want myself homeward bound,
And to dry our nation's tear.
So I'll sit back and wait,
To come home and be with you.
But nation....you're already late.
Signed....
A GI that someone...somewhere....surely knew.
POW/MIA's
