Please pray for Mark, a homeless veteran of the Viet Nam era that has died. My daughter used to buy him and his friend food sometimes when they were outside McDonalds. She went to bring them breakfast today, and only one was there, that’s how she found out. Please pray for his friend as well, who will miss his friend greatly, I am certain.
Eternal rest grant unto him O, Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the Mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
WALKING ALONE
Life was filled with sadness,
As we walked alone with death, It being our companion in life. We cry out within our hearts, Filled with sorrow and pain,
Is there any honest love in life, For us to obtain in this world, As we walk alone today. Loneliness walks with us in life.
Where have you come from? “Vietnam” was our only reply. Women would turn and leave, Rejection became a way of life, For us, who survived the war, In Vietnam far away;
We are known as killers,
Of babies and little children. Loneliness is our friend today.
We were looked down upon,
As we arrived in America;
Being rejected and spit upon,
For there was much resistance, America wanted to forget us, Cause, we were the Nations guilt. Our hearts cry out to America, With pains of sore memories, Don’t leave us in loneliness.
Trying to survive, being nineteen, Was our one and only crime.
We were young, wanting to live,
In hopes of returning home,
From Vietnam, to family and friends. But, love has abandon our lives,
As we continue our journey,
In life, through our trials.
Loneliness haunts our world today…
