My Eyes Have Seen
Rest In Peace; the past replays-
Soldiers fighting for a brand new Day!
Lives are lost; we are found;
Protecting what is Freedom’s ground.
Sweetheart, Dad with countless lives-
Thank you for your sacrifice!
Legos, electronics, fitted sheets;
Fast foods, salads, a variety of meats…
We take for granted so very much;
Warm beds, breathing…hey, keep in touch!
Warrior, Champion, Victor, Hero-
You might be tempted to say, “Oh No!”
Yet, as I see it from where I sit…
Those titles are a perfect fit!!
With memorial day coming up I wanted to share these poems :
The Colors Of Our Flag
Shots are heard from across the ocean;
Our world is a little safer tonight.
Someone will be resting too,
Because they saw through our eyes….
Sitting here writing these words,
As explosions rearrange geography;
I’m worried about what to wear tomorrow…
When others fight to keep us free.
How can I complain about this or that
And demand to have things done my way?
Have I become a thankless enemy-
When so many heroes sacrifice each day?
Taps Across The Ocean
Broken hearts and broken hopes
in what seems a world away;
Blood baths don’t ever clean anyone-
Loved ones fight every day;
Men and women who volunteer,
Knowing they might not come back….
Giving all for our freedom here-
Their love doesn’t lack.
Moms, dads….all family and friends;
Even sons and daughters too-
Wear their uniforms for their country…
But are they the forgotten who?
Graves blanket this whole earth,
Holding memories never forgot;
Each one should be told of
Freedom which was sacrificially bought….
So that you and me may enjoy the sun,
Ride a bike, laugh with a friend-
Pray with me each every day……
That this war on life will end.
I’ve been working on this tonight :
This is on a birdhouse: 
My next project…. I drew this in November of 1999….would look great on a box 😉
About Face
Ugh!! Look at the weather!!! I hate shoveling!! And the lid’s off the toothpaste again!!!
I wanted to park in that very spot!!!! Shhh!!! I can’t hear my football team win!!!
You’re taking too long with your decision,
Let me go first while you decide…
Another ticket while I parked in a fire zone!! I was just a second inside!!!!!
Oh my!!! I can’t take this no more!!! Stress
Is too much for me!!
Until I see soldiers getting off of a plane
To rest while keeping us free.
Tears are falling, folded flags are held;
“I love you” wraps tight each embrace;
Where do I get off complaining of life
When I see the look on each face.
I don’t think shoveling, or lattes were not their minds…time just suddenly stopped
This moment I give to our soldiers who never let the ball get dropped!
