There's
Teddy
Bears
And
High
School
Rings
Old
Photographs
That
Mamas
bring
The
Daddies
with
their
young
Boys
Playing
Ball.

There's
Combat
Boots
That
he
used
to
wear
When
he
was
sent
Over
there
There's
50,000
Names
Carved
in
the
Wall

There's
Cigarettes
And
there's
Cans
of
Beer
And
Notes
that
say
I
miss
you
Dear
And
Children
who
don't
Say
anything
at
all

There's
Purple
Hearts
And
Packs
of
Gum
Fatherless
Daughters
And
fatherless
Sons

And
there's
50,000
Names
Carved
in
the
Wall

They
come
from
all
across
this
Land
In
Pickup
Trucks
and
Mini
Vans
Searching
for
that
Boy
from
long
ago
They
scan
the
Wall
and
find
his
Name
And
Teardrops
fall
like
pouring
Rain
And
silently
they
leave
a
Gift
and
go

There's
Stars
of
David
And
Rosary
Beads
And
Crucifixion
Figurines
And
Flowers
of
all
Colors
Large
and
small
There's
a
Boy
Scout
Badge
And
a
Merit
Pin
Little
American
Flags
Waving
in
the
Wind

And
there's
50,000
Names
Carved
in
the
Wall.
