For Bob, with love on Veterans Day 2014
With secrets inside
Held since his days
in a place I will never know
Jungle smoke rain mud
Foreign sounds, smells
Residing inside his dreams
There is a man I know
Quiet
Strong
Opinionated
Respected but never honored
Living his days with memories
Too deep for recovery
There is a man I know
as a brother.father.friend
With mysteries
that will forever go unsolved
I can't know
Don't want to know
He served so I would never need to know.
