THE WALL OF FACES

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

SGT Michael Allen Walker is buried in the Fairview Cemetery in Scottsbluff, NE.
