Guardians of The Wall

They look so lifelike as they stand by the wall .
They seem to be pointing to the guys from my war that did fall.
I look at these three and strange as it seems I see me years ago in a far away place.
I see me as I stare upon their face.

These three are just teenagers but with the faces that have aged.
Yes.. aged by the times of anxiousness and that war that raged.
I see myself in them as they point to the ones that fell.
Why am I here and they are not, this no one but God can tell.

There are reasons for both as we all stand in our place.
Many still cannot accept this as they touch the black marble face.
They look so lifelike as they stand there by the Wall.
They seem to be pointing to the guys from my war that did fall.
