Do you hear it?
A sound I'll never forget
The sound of dog tags blowing in the chilling wind
And I wonder when I'll see you again
The wind bites
It cuts like a knife
I did not see you as I should have at the last
Seeing you in pain I could not get past
Now in the ground you have been lain
There in lies my shame
John P. Rucker
