vietnam

In one of the books I am reading I came across this poem, written by a Vietnamese soldier named Duong Tuong who visited the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C. He wrote it and left it there at the wall. It is beautiful and inspirational about love for one's enemies.

At The Vietnam Wall

because i never knew you

nor did you me

i come

.

because you left behind mother,

father an betrothed

and i wife and children

i come

.

because love is stronger than enmity

and can bridge oceans

i come

.

because you never return

and i do

i come
