Chew, USA Share Poem A High Price to Pay I saw you there in your wheelchair very young and handsome While wondering how you got there I was remembering you are my grandson It's my greatest desire you could have escaped injury while under fire on your tour-of-duty The medal they gave you doesn't take away the pain but boy is it a beauty A high price to pay when you can't walk away My heart goes out to you and your bravery God knows you're one of the many who have kept this entire country from communist slavery So be blessed my Son you've paid the price for helping the rest of us live the American life Click to purchase Print 115318 0 Other Author Poems High Pockets Sweet Baby A Wonderful Past Recent Site Documents What type of Valentine do you wish to have?
