\Large\bf A GIFT FOR YOU\\
\normalsize\it
\hspace*{4.0} by Ph\an m Duy\\
\bigskip

You ask me when I come home?
I would say ``never or soon''...
Either I come home with a silver star
As a hero back from the war
Or I come home in a coffin
Draped with flowers, still and cold!
I come home in the mid of the night
A poncho wrapping me tight
I come home and time goes by...
Your young hair has turned to white!
I come home I have a gift for you:
This bullet out of my flesh
And if you remarry
I'll give it to you as a memory!
I come home on a leg of wood
I come home a warrior in defeat
And if we walk to the streets
You'll feel ashamed being with me...
I come home we look at each other
Like two strangers
We will try not to remember
Our names our faces forever...
You ask me when I come home?
I would say ``never or soon''...\\
