Thank You Dear Soldiers

Onto the battlefield you went





without knowing what would be



You said goodbye not knowing



what you were going to see



You left the warmth of family



you left all you ever knew



To protect us through your service



so this poem is for you.



Thank you for your service



and for leaving all behind



For all the hours of fighting



and the terrors you did find.



Thank you for the sacrifice,



for all the tears you shed



Thank you for going on



when your heart was filled with dread.



Thank you American Soldier



where ever you may be



Whether you are still fighting



or now back with your family



You are truly a hero for all



and I wanted to say this to you



You are appreciated and loved



and this poem is just fo you!

A song for today

I hear in my heart a melody
a song for this very day
It echoes within my being
and thus i am moved to say
WHy is it we're stuck on differences
and why can't we get along
Why is we find such much happiness:
pointing out another's wrong?
We can make this a better world
if we're willing to try
To work together with everyone
even if we don't see eye to eye.
It's not about what wrong "they've" done
but rather on what we can do right
Let's resolve to change our vision
and see everyone in God's light
