THIS POEM WAS  WRITTEN
BECAUSE A MAN

NAMED "BODIE"
SAW WHAT THE PIECE OF GROUND REALLY WAS
"THE"
"HEALING FIELD"
THIS GROUND IS IN KOKOMO,
INDIANNA.

PLEASE COME AND JOIN US ON

"THE HEALING" "FIELD"
SOME PEOPLE SAY "THIS FIELD" TO THEM
IS JUST A PIECE OF GROUND
A PLACE WHERE ONCE A YEAR IT SEEMS;
THE VETERANS GATHER ROUND.


BUT THIS PIECE OF "GROUND" IS SACRED,
IT'S A SPECIAL PIECE OF EARTH,
WHERE VETERANS SHARE THEIR BURDENS,
AND REALIZE THEIR WORTH



WHERE MUSIC PLAYS FROM YEARS GONE BY,
AND FLAGS ARE FLOWN WITH PRIDE
AND TEARS ARE SHED IN EVERY CAMP

FOR "BROTHERS" WHO HAVE DIED..



PRAYERS ARE PRAYED FOR  "SPECIAL ONES"
IT IS THOSE THEY CANNOT FIND,
"BROTHERS" SOMEWHERE..OUT THERE LOST
THEY WERE LEFT BEHIND


THIS SIMPLE PIECE OF LAND IT SEEMS
COMES TO LIFE EACH YEAR;
AS VETERANS OPEN UP THEIR HEARTS,
TO FACE EACH AND EVERY FEAR.



AND WITH A MIGHTY "WELCOME HOME"
AND HUGS TO ONE ANOTHER.
THIS GROUND BECOMES A "HEALING FIELD"
WHERE EVERYONE'S YOUR "BROTHER


FOR  TWENTY YEARS, THESE VETS HAVE CAME
WITH WOUNDS THAT HAVE NOT HEALED
AND THIS SPECIAL PEICE OF EARTH IT SEEMS;
HAS BECAME "THE HEALING FIELD"
