I found you there....
Visiting Carnton Plantation here in Franklin I found the name of a confederate soldier from South Carolina who is a distant relative....and I reflected
I found you there not all alone
But with your friends today
Fallen swayed, from beautiful home
Resting there, so, so far away
Impassioned in an honored call
Defenders from invaders rage
In stone garden found reposed
Numbered ,letters marked in a page
I found you there my valored kin
Forgotten, I take my blame
Barely seen through weathered days
Mourned and cared for just the same
Now the time, to remember, recall
To kin and country and to reclaim
To never again forget the cost
By the man whom bares your nam
