27 May 2001 To a good friend and classmate. I miss you and the times we shared. It was the best of times and the worst of times, as Dickens said. But you are in my memories and will always remain there. For the sacrfice you made, I thank you and honor you. Walter M. Smith 29 May 2005 Here it is 2005 and I just wanted to say you are still in my thoughts, my dear friend! Mitakuye Oyasin, Walter Smith The High Ground by Walter "Two Eagles" Smith © 2000 A special place called the High Ground, Where there is only the sound, Of bronzed bamboo chimes ringing, Makes one think of angels singing, The voices of the men, who went to war, But will be heard from never more, Four bronzed figures huddled, one in dire pain, A nurse standing holding a poncho against the rain, It is their destiny, For the eternity, My friends are represented there, That is why I truly care, Their lives they gave for me, To be a part of my history, They should be here instead, But unfortunately they are now dead, May we always recall, That they gave their all. From a friend and classmate, Walter Smith walter@wamblinunpa.com
