About to tell a loved one about their loss. Thinking of how it could have been me. Wondering how they will react. Reaching up with heavy hand, I knock on the door. Waiting nervously, I prepare myself for what's to come. Wishing anxiously someone else had come. Wanting desperately not to have to deliver such news. He gave his life for this country that he loved. Dying so suddenly without warning. He never got to say "Goodbye, my love." Sadly thinking how to treat the wounds I'm sure to inflict. Praying for peace and getting only a saddened heart. The only tribute I can give is this poem. His memory will never fade from my mind. His lust for life never replaced. His joy in his family and his friends, never forgotten. He will live on 'till the end of time. He is one of us, the unforgotten vet.

See the hope and courage in the strength of the petals. As long as I am, I will be. The flower will never wilt or die. As my life grows back, I shall become strong. I shall become only dependent on one. That one will be me. I will rise with my petals high. My life as a flower will bloom and prosper as I grow. I may not be the pick of the patch, but I am just as beautiful as the rest. I will stand as one, but not a lonely soul. The tears will be far from my smile. </font> Personal http://www.zorpia.com/catsandpugs/journal/1812533 Sat, 14 Jun 2008 01:26 EDT http://www.zorpia.com/catsandpugs/journal/1808979 <p><font face="times new roman,times,serif" color="#249624" size="4"><strong>Friendship is something that grows through the years<br />Withstanding feelings of anger, joy and tears<br />It is something you cannot live without<br />A friend you can turn to when in doubt<br />They should listen carefully and not speak a word<br />For you would do the same when they want to be heard<br />A person you can confide in, learn from and trust<br />This is a friend and everyone must<br />Be able to have someone just like this<br />Not a boyfriend to hug, cuddle and kiss<br />But a person so special, faithful and true<br />The only one I can think of is a person like you<br />Our friendship is strong, healthy and great<br />Through the years I see its wonderful fate<br />A fate of laughs, greatness and fun<br />We have only one life to live and this is the one<br />The past- full of memories that runs through my head<br />The bad ones never talked about or said<br />Every moment of life should glisten with fresh morning dew<br />This reminds me of the greatest friendship one ever knew. </strong></font></p> Miscellaneous http://www.zorpia.com/catsandpugs/journal/1808979 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 11:55 EDT
