The Warrior’s Due
By Garland Davis
We were not there
To be heroes
Our sense of duty brought
Us to the Gulf of Tonkin
The war kept us there
We brought
Lightning from the skies
And thunder from the guns
Toiling and waiting
To be detached
For a long-awaited week
With the girls of Subic Bay
Who will Love us
Long time
For that is the warrior’s due.
