All in a Row

March 29th is National Vietnam War Veterans day.  Lenny is a Vietnam veteran.  We thank him and them for their service and sacrifices.

ALL IN A ROW

As I stand here on solid ground not moving not making a sound.
As I look around all I can see is white crosses, rows upon rows as far as I can see.
Young men and women who fought to be free.
Now laying in the military cemetery, with these words etched in their minds.
“Give me liberty or give me death.” Because this is what I’m fighting for.
But if this is the way it has to be, victory to all of us lying in a veteran’s military cemetery.
With white crosses all in a row, and heaven looking down on us from above.
Showing us love as the wind continues to blow, whispering the words of heroes who fought so gallant and true,
And now what’s left is – white crosses all in a row. As the sun continues to shine from heaven – up above.

Shades of Blue

SHADES OF BLUE

I dreamed I was falling in love with you.
It felt like you were the only one that could make my dreams come true.
I pray that one day this dream will come true and strengthen our love in shades of blue.
Don’t wake me up, it may be too soon. Let this dream – continue on.
Tomorrow is tomorrow, and the past is still the past. Let’s move into the future and make this journey last.
For tomorrow is tomorrow, and the past is still the past. We must move with the quickness and make this journey last.
I need to wake up, because this is our new beginning, to be able to make this journey last.
Because today is the day, and the past is still the past.
So, don’t look back. If you only knew, this only happens – in shades of blue.

In The End

IN THE END

Sometimes we get lost with the true meaning of life, and think all you have to do is roll the dice or dream of a two-car garage, and a house that may be too large.

But when you stop and think of all these things, and you have nowhere to lay your head, it’s more than just a dream, it’s more than just a fantasy.

Just look around and you will see. People struggling from day to day not knowing what’s going to happen at the end of the day.

So, if I repent from all my evil ways, and learn to worship in a godly way and get back on the path that God has laid down for me, and then would I know the real meaning of life?

Yes, Because in the end – PRAYER CHANGES THINGS.

I’m Home

I’M HOME

 

I remember the day I came home from the war. I threw my shoulders back and I opened the door.

There was a crowd standing around with tears in their eyes. I said I’m home, and no one was surprised.

I looked over in the corner, and I could see a casket draped in red, white, and blue, and on it, it said, J.J. O’Reilly. – I said that’s me – how could that be.

When I looked around I can see them, but they couldn’t see me. I turned around and shouted, “I’m home can’t you see”!

Then again, I can see them, but they couldn’t see me. Then I realized those tears were for me – I’M HOME!

You no longer need to worry about me, I’M HOME ! So, shed no more tears for me. I’M HOME ! In a little town called Frankford – this is home to me – I’M HOME!

THE WONDERS OF NATURE

Don’t wake up feeling all alone and neglected. Just look to the hills and see, as the wind blows in your direction.

Nature has its own way of showing you that you haven’t been neglected, by the sweet scent of fresh flowers, swaying in the breeze, apples in the orchard, cherries on the trees.

No, you haven’t been neglected. Just look around and see how nature painted this picture, so you would be able to see rabbits in the garden and squirrels climbing trees, dogs and cats frolicking in the open Breeze.

Just so you can see – the Wonders of nature, to let you know you haven’t been neglected.

As the Breeze continues to blow from behind the trees, to show you that you have a friend in nature, and you haven’t been neglected by any means.

Nature has a way of showing you that you will never be alone. When you open your eyes, to the wonders of nature – Just take the time to look around and see the wonders of nature on Christmas Eve.
