and daylight fills the sky
We pause for a moment, hat in hand,
my fallen heroes and I
The names inscribed on the granite wall
are ablaze in the morning light
Reminding me of all the fires
that each was called to fight
The world was made a safer place
by those who grace the wall
They earned our undying gratitude
by answering the call
