DEAR DADDY

In dedication to our beloved Vietnam War Veterans

Mother hurriedly lit my six candles
on the day Saigon fell.
She embraced me and your portrait,
whispering: "Dad used to say war was hell."

Mother asked if I liked to learn English
"'cause your Dad was a handsome American;
He died bravely in a fierce battle
on the hills or down the valleys on Khe Sanh.

He came to Vietnam from America
where he Statue of Liberty stands,
helping the South stop the North
from stealing the precious piece of lands."

Mother died in the rain at a labor camp
'cause there was no food or medicine.
She was caught for "escaping to America"
where you, Daddy, were growing.

I was left a living outcast --
tears dried from missing you, Mom, Dad --
holding onto your spirits each day:
That's all your child has had.

I secretly heard on the shotwave
you name is on the Viet Veteran Wall.
Proud of you, Dad!
You had died for Freedom and Justice for all.
