1. Somehow Marker
Dedicated in honor of all the parents and loved ones of each veteran from Marion County who served in Vietnam.
I've tried for many an hour and minute
To think of this world without me in it.
I can't imagine a new-born day
Without me here… somehow… some way.
I can not think of autumn's flare
Without me here… alive… aware.
I can't imagine a dawn in spring
Without my heart awakening.
These treasured days will come and go
At swifter pace … but this I know…
I have no fear…I have no dread
Of that marked day that lies ahead.
My flesh will turn to ash and clay
But I'll be here… Somehow… some way.
