Does Amber Ray really know how, <br />After nearly four decades now? <br />What happened to her Father? <br />Did the Air Force ever bother? <br />Does she know the total truth? <br />Just what ended his youth? <br />Aircraft Rivet Amber departed Shemya early in the morning. <br />The June 5,1969, flight ended with little warning! <br />Lost over the Bering Sea! <br />Not much debris? <br />No one in the Air Force would much speak <br />Of Rivet Amber and its mission so unique! <br />The night before in the NCO Club bar, <br />A proud crew member gave each of us a cigar. <br />His first child was just born. <br />The name she would adorn - <br />Amber Ray! <br />From his special aircraft and the rare light rays in the Shemya sky so gray. <br />For the new Father a few hours of parental bliss, <br />Then just gone in the secrecy abyss! <br />Does the Air Force still play the classified game? <br />Did Amber Ray ever know from whence her name came?<br /><br />Hubert Wilson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/secrets-from-amber-ray/
