A Soldier
There is discipline in A Soldier
you can see it when he walks,
There is honor in A Soldier
you hear it when he talks.
There is courage in A Soldier
you can see it in his eyes,
There is loyalty in A Soldier
that he will not compromise.
There is something in A Soldier
that makes him stand apart,
There is strength in A Soldier
that beats from his heart.
A Soldier isn't a title any man
can be hired to do,
A Soldier is the soul of that man
buried deep inside of you.
A Soldier's job isn't finished after
an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week,
A Soldier is always A Soldier
even while he sleeps.
A Soldier serves his country first
and his life is left behind,
A Soldier has to sacrifice what
comes first in a civilian's mind.
If you are civilian -
I am saying this to you.....
next time you see A Soldier
remember what they do.
A Soldier is the reason our land
is 'Home of the free',
A Soldier is the one that is brave
protecting you and me.
If you are A Soldier -
I am saying this to you.....
Thank God for EVERY SOLDIER
Thank God for what YOU do!

Did I tell you?
Did I tell you that I am deeply in love with you? Because I am
More than you know, more than I planned
Did I tell you that I miss you terribly? Because I do
Every time that I see someone and it is not you
Did I tell you that I will always need you? Because I will
Without you by my side - my heart, my life stands still
Did I tell you that you are all that I think of? Because it's true
Thinking of the yesterdays keeps me closer to you
Did I tell you that you are all I will ever want? Because you are
You came into my life and captured my heart
Did I tell you all the things I feel for you? Because I want you to Know
That I feel them deeply every second, even when it doesn't show
Never let us lose the memories of us, the love that we feel
Never let the emptiness we have when we're apart heal
Always listen to your heart - it will tell you what it needs
And allow your feet to follow wherever that may lead
So, read this today - but always keep it in your heart
and let it guide you back to me when we're far apart

Innocence Lost
The sadness I see while I am here
a life of struggle, loss, hate and fear.
I was lucky to be American born
unlike these children whose lives are torn.
They are raised in a world of fighting and pain
where bullets and shrapnel spread like rain.
Playing outside with a friend or a brother
could end in death and screams from a mother.
The look in their eyes isn't careless and free
it isn't of playing games and climbing trees.
It is a look of intensity, sadness and fear
a look I've never seen in a child until I came here.
I want to save these children that haven't a choice
but to live in a world like theirs without a loud enough voice.
It is easy to blame them for the adult life they are living
but what choice do they have, it is the life they are given.
They are born into this life that isn't free
they pay with their lives or learn to live what they see.
I can't imagine the pain they feel from their start
I wish I could erase the scars from their hearts.
So many questions I have, the first being why
Why have a child that your raising to die?
You honor a belief more than a daughter or son
that is the message when the killings are done.
I pray for the soul of that child that became the adult
from the life they were given it isn't their fault.
Everyday I am here it is a lesson to me
I thank God I am from the 'Land of the Free'.

A Mother's Love
The day you were born I hadn't a clue
of how much love I would have for you.
I was scared at first and unsure of my choice
I remember the words of my mother's voice.
She said 'It will come naturally and you'll know what to do
that no mother knows until they have you.
There are no rules or perfect ways
you do your best day by day'.
Day by day went by so fast
I want to freeze time to make it last.
I remember the firsts - crawling then walking
the words you said when you started talking.
Your first day of school was suddenly here
As I walked away my eyes filled with tears.
Everyday you come home having learned something new
as I watch and listen I am so proud of you
I look through pictures to remember my baby
they tell the tale of a beautiful young lady.
From your first day in the world you have captured my heart
changing my life right from the start.
I have to lead by example and always be strong
silently hoping my decisions aren't wrong.
I know you are watching and learning from me
molding you into the type of person you'll be.
I want you to be strong and make it thru
all the situations that will come to you.
I want you to live honestly and always be true
knowing that God is watching you.
Having respect for others and treating them kind
living your life with a conscious mind.
Be happy, healthy and live life completely
knowing your loved unconditionally.
You will always be my baby no matter how old
In the palm of your hand is my heart that you hold.
