SOLDIER'S PROMISE

0 comments


Soldier's Promise

Tears on my face that I have cried

Blood that has ran down my arms has finally dried

Silence grows and creeps as I sit watching the time

Looking out a shattered window how could the world be so blind

Others sitting next to me knowing they are feeling the same wonder inside

Days seem to run together as if hate never asks why

Anyone could be so hurtful that many volunteer to die

But a hope exists so strong this pain would end tonight

That a peaceful tomorrow may be somewhere in sight

Looking up at the stars searching for some kind of sign

Many hearts wonder will another day have to go by

Full of questions and screams because another had to fly

Putting everything into what is believed to be right

Despite the many loved that are gone many others get to see the sun rise

The next morning from the little sleep had become opened eyes

Glance to the horizon and smile because hate wants to apologize

Overwhelming feelings flood the eyes realizing now we can go home and live life

Reuniting souls rest more at ease everything will be alright

Love and determination got us through to see the morning light

Gone but not forgotten and the ones that I stand beside

Tell me how can you leave someone risking their life behind

So that you can see your loved ones and kiss your family goodnight

THEY'RE COMING HOME

0 comments
           Last U.S. combat convoy has left Iraq! 
As an American, I am moved to tears. 
May those of us who never walked the barren landscape or endured endless shelling be there to welcome all of you back home, as you step back onto U.S. soil.
Let us greet you with open arms, hugs, and handshakes, and recognize you for the incredible sacrifices you have made and the heroes that we all know you are.
Our sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles and family are coming back to us.  Please give those of us who did not fight, the courage to step up and make their transition from enlisted to civilian, one of new beginnings, hope, and encouragement.  This group of brave soldiers will need our support for a long time to come.  As Americans let us rise and surpass the challenges they will present to us.  Let us do all the right things.  
God Bless us all.........
