Chuyện tình Việt Nam (Vietnam love story)
Tommy L. Maddox 1972 (North Carolina)
Teenage lovers,
Bold and strong.
Enlisted in the army,
Is where he belongs.
War is upon them,
He must go.
Drafted to Nam,
The jungles to roam.
She cannot handle loneliness,
Or his possible death.
Her love fades,
And now she has left.
To a village, he goes,
Patroling every day.
He passes her house,
A pretty cô gái trẻ.
She smiles at him,
And his heart stops.
Instantly in love,
They both have fallen.
His soldier duties,
She understands.
Her father and brother,
Have fought for their land.
Both sides drafted,
Both sides have fought.
One against the other,
Her heart cares not.
For it is the soldier,
Her heart belongs.
They marry,
They are happy.
Back to America,
they have gone.
About this poem
A symbolic poem of my meeting my fiance. Not during the war but in modern times. I used the Vietnam war because it is most familiar to America and the world.
