Meine Walkure

By Ranger Jerry L Conners

Chinese Bandit Recon 1st Bn (ABN) 8th Cav
1965-66

Handmaiden of Oden
I beckon thee
embrace me
and carry me forth

My lovely Valkyrie,
come for me
and open thy heart
and soul

Know my battles
and judge me
lest I be forgotten
on this inconspicuous field

Remove my blood
soaked tunic
and carry me aloft
into the drying winds

Fear me not Valkyrie,

close neither wings nor dreams
but take me high
into the world above

Lovely Valkyrie,
come to me and
hear the music
of my warrior's fire and
let our unbridled passion
consume us in the
twilight of the gods

Dedicated to Carlos R Hatcher,

Chinese Bandit 13 Rear Security Team Leader
