Myself, the SoldierI am a soldier
Copyright ©2004 Melissa Ramon
A nation mourns, A nation weeps. Awaken now The giant who sleeps.
Red for their blood, Blue for our brave, White for our motives, Freedom to save.
The innocent died, In hot flames of hate. The guilty who've lied Will find a worse fate.
No where to run No refuge to find. This peace loving giant Their bones now to grind.
The so many heads Will then one by one Be severed and burned, And hatred undone.
When each skinny rat Is plucked from his hole, He'll find to dismay That he had no soul.
No Jihad can save A soul that's not there, For innocents killed, Not so much as a care.
In one bright new world, The giant will then, Close his sweet eyes, And dream once again.

To All Of Our Soldiers, May GOD Richly Bless Each And Everyone Of You for All the Good and Bad things you've had to Endure! But You Always Have to Remember GOD was with Each and Every One of You Every Step of Every Day! I personally want to say Thank You for Helping To Keep The USA Safe from a Repeat of 9-11-01 and LORD WILLING Never to Happen Again! And You Can All Pat Yourselves On the Back for Finding and Capturing the worst monster { So Damn Insane } and his bringing up the rear fight for his throne, Sons that lost their lives! May You All Feel Appreciated Each & Every Day For The Rest Of Your Lives and also be Proud to Come Back Home to Your Families and Loved Ones!

Para Ti Soldado ( To You Soldier) by Spanish Speaking sixth graders at Cedar Grove Elementary This poem won 1st place in the Ysleta Ind. School District poetry contest.
Para ti soldado Dedico este poema Porque estas lejos de tu gente Y luchar por la libertad, es tu lema
Para ti soldado Que estas lejos de tu seres queridos Sin ver crecer a tus hijos Para que yo este en paz con los mios
Para ti soldado Que pasas tus noches en una carpa fria Siempre esperando la muerte Para que yo duerma tranquilo con mi familia
Para ti soldado Que caminas con temor y sin tranquilidad Por las calles de los paises destrosados por la guerra Para que yo camine confiado por las calles de mi comunidad
Para ti soldado Que estas sufriendo y llorando Al ver a tus compañeros morir dia con dia Para que yo tranquilo viva estudiando
Para ti soldado Que duermes intranquilo Y solo ves la muerte en tus sueños Para que yo viva soñando un futuro feliz y tranquilo
Para ti soldado Que luchas contra el terrorismo Arriesgando tu vida en el desierto o en cualquier parte del mundo Para que yo sea libre y un dia hago lo mismo
Para ti soldado, para ti Donde quiera que estes, en Korea, Irak o Katar Luchando por mi y mi libertad Elevo tu espirito en alto para que pronto, muy pronto, a casa puedas regresar!
Death,and war is something we all must go through when there is no peace.We all win when we follow Christ's footprints.
Necessary War

A wispy veil of steam enclosed and swallowed the garden creatures; she stretched and he searched her all over, obeying ancient rituals of the pleasure zones.
And in the swirling pods popcorn bubbles rattled the rocky gyser streams in a Japanese new year shower. She became mesmerized by her mate's magnetic touch as he cleaned her skin of nature's scavengers.
The count went on, the sight went on as long; five hundred boots and counting.
An old woman threw red seeds toward winter winds; taps engulfed the square; and April poppies sprung about the ghost of every empty boot.
The boots sang a tale in melodies; a newborn's cry; passions never again; a thought of crackling chips on paper plates.
As our flag "Old Glory" flies its colors red, white and blue. It is our symbol that stands bold and strong part of our heritage with pride we hold true.
It was a goal of our forefathers what they stood for all the way. Their hope and dreams of a land that was free of which we still have today.
Many times we have gone into battle to fight and to protect those rights forever. Thinking how strong our forefathers must have been all the hardships they must have had to endeavor.
May we always carry on that same tradition to ensure the rights of every woman, child and man. After all we the United States of America and show our strength by joining hand in hand.
Remember all those from among us who have fought and for those who have died. For them we carry on their honor, their pride.
To keep America the way it should always be. With equal rights and justice for all and the home of the free.
A lot has happened this last year our strength as a nation has shown. With honor, respect and faith in God, our country and our home.

On
Freedom
Our freedom is a precious thing! It makes us who we are. Those who try to stop it's ring soon discover they shan't get far.
Our towers they may knock down, create havoc though they might. will find out that we frown on their foolish fight
For we are an awesome breed, the best the world has seen! We accept every man's creed and create a wondrous thing.
So though you try to frighten and pain you may inflict. you soon shall be enlightened. It's YOUR asses we're gonna kick!!

MY
DEAR SON I NEVER THOUGHT
I WOULD SEE THIS DAY, FIGHTING
IN A COUNTRY THAT WHEN WE
HAVE DAY
A
MOTHER'S LOVE DOES INDEED
ENDURE BEYOND THE SCOPE OF ANYTHING. I LOVE YOU SO
MUCH
THAT NOW IM FEELING EVERYTHING
BAD.
HOW
CAN THAT BE FOR I'M NOT
THERE,
I NUTURED YOU FOR SO LONG AND
NOW YOU'RE GONE TO A WAR
THAT
I FEAR THAT THE MEN WE ONCE
KNEW
I LOVE YOU SON AND ALWAYS WILL WHY MUST WE FIGHT SO MANY WARS?
Time passes slowly When you are not near And it slipped right through my hand When I had you here
Hold my heart with gentle hands You take it far away To a place filled with poverty, With hatred and dismay
You fight for our country, Our freedom, and our lives You sacrifice yourself Putting everything aside
All day I think about you And stare into empty space Are you fighting on the battlefield Or resting on the base?
So, when the road gets tough And you have no where to hide Let my face give you resolution And put all your fears aside
Beholding Beyond Words To Our Servicemen and Women Stationed Around the World In Far Away Places There¹s Not Much We Can Say To Thank Them Enough For What They Go Thru Each Day In the Rough
But: Give Them Our Thanks Give Them Our Love Give Them Our Regards For a Safe Return
We Praise and Raise Our Hands to You That Earned the Honor That We Now Bestow We Salute You For A Job Bravely Done And Applaud Your Courage In The Face Of The Unknown
Defending Freedom Defending Liberty Defending Peace At Home And Abroad
For The Past, Present, And Future Generations Duty Will Always Be An Honorable Citation To Stand The Ground That Freedom Upholds To Endure Engagements Where Ever They Unfold
Defending Freedom Defending Liberty Defending Peace At Home And Abroad
For Those MIA'S, POW'S, Fallen Soldiers, Who Gave All They Could We Will Search For As Long as It Takes You Are Not Forgotten And Will Always Be
In Our Hearts In Our Prayers In Our Minds For All Time
These Immortalized Soldiers Whose Bravery Abounds They Are Sisters, Brothers Heroes Profound They Enlisted For the Duty At Hand To Serve The Cause Of Country And Land
They Serve With Honor They Serve With Valor They Serve With A Pride That Will Change Them Forever
To Our Forces Standing Tall And Proud They Be Our Country¹s Behind Them In A Solemn Sea So Let The Flags Of Freedom Fly Unfurled In Their Majesty High In The Sun In The Rain In The Winds Across This Land
These Are The Things Our Country¹s Made Of These Are The Things We Cherish And Love So Let The Flags Of Freedom Fly Unfurled In Their Majesty High
In The Sun In The Rain In The Wind Across This Land
(Repeat)

Loving you was so very easy... with your heart of gold - a smile that was full of love - and a life of never ending experiences. your life was so full of excitement. so, why then - was such a life taken from us? why, someone please tell me why? a life so full of love and joy. it doesn't make any sense. they say things happen for reasons - but, I have yet to find the reason. but there's one thing I do know - Loving you was so very easy. A love that will ultimately live on - In my heart Forever... I love you - SSG Cameron Bryan Sarno
Written for a very special man who died in Kuwait on September 1, 2003 while serving his country.
Hunkered down And all alone You wish for the arms Of a loved one back home.
Facing the battles Of the new day "Lord, please protect me," Silently you pray.
Staring at the stars You ask yourself "why?" So many of your friends May have to die.
Remembering your country The land of the free You will bring life and hope Above all, you bring liberty.
So into this war You'll give it your all When you are frightened On God, you can call. Melissa Ramon Copyright ©2003 Melissa Ramon
He fights for your freedom day after day He risks his life in a land far away He fights a war for a reason that's clear To fight for the country that I love so dear Remembering the hopes and dreams of his past Praying all night that it |
