I went with the family and relatives to pay
my respects to a dear friend I knew so well
To abide in the spendid peace and warmth
to ponder and reflect on the many stories
we tell
I heard tales of his childhood to his youth
and the man he grew up to be
Yes they remembered it all both good
and bad and of the happy soul was he
But I knew him as a soldier and with many
others we did train
To fight the war in Vietnam members of
Whiskey Two RNZIR we became
The stories they told when he returned home
was familiar yes we all had changed
From bright eyed youth to men withdrawn
full of dread misery and pain
It was in July of 1969 the same month that
man walked upon the moon
Six comrades met with tradgedy with courage
Danny gave comfort and tended to their
wounds
And as I gaze upon the wall where his
soul has been put to rest
With the tributes of other soldiers of war
we can draw comfort that he stands with the best.
For the Family
