Thoughts on the ones we will leave behind

If you are able

save them a place inside of you

and save one backward glance

when you are leaving

for the places they can no longer go.

Be not ashamed to say you loved them,

though you may or may not have always.

Take what they have left and what they

have taught you with their dying

and mix it with your own.

And in that time when men decide

and feel safe to call this war insane,

take one moment to embrace those

gentle heroes you left behind.
