My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guides
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and I...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

You too, then. It was a crazy time Darksheare.

[Soaring Feather]

WOO HOO #500 goes to Darksheare!

[Darksheare]

There are some pretty places out there, but unfortunately there's been some fairly unpretty people out there.
most notably at Kent..

[Soaring Feather]

Find that no matter we go. Here where I live it's almost unbelievable the changes that taken place. Can't even recognize my own hometown anymore. Sad.

[Soaring Feather]

Maybe I need to come into the DD and get into a time warp, eh?? LOL

[Darksheare]

LOL!
Heck, where I grew up doesn't even look familiar anymore!

Timewarps?
Um..
yah SURE you wanna do that?
Timewarps and other odd stuff happens all the time on other threads, but weirdness of a completely higher level occurs on DD.
Like, right now we have one of the crew waking up not know ing how they got there, and looking for blue thingies.

It's cloudy and cool here this morning.

Prayers for your brother being sent.

[SAMWolf]

Yeah, chaotic times for our Country. :-(

[SAMWolf]

Yep, It was a protest song.

[SAMWolf]

I like this one better.

Ballad of the Green Berets

Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret

Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret

Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage peak from the Green Berets

Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret

Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request

Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret.

Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler and Robin Moore

[Soaring Feather]

Yeah, me, too. Thanks Sam. I should hunt around for the song.

I know not The Green Berets

~Jail House Rock~Elvis~

[Darksheare]

Probably explains why I hate that song so much.
*chuckle*

[Darksheare]

Saw video of him singing that once.

[SAMWolf]

I saw the video too.

[Darksheare]

Didn't the Sarge die in combat after that?

No, he met a tragic ending

It is September 8, 1989, and Barry Allen Sadler, singer, songwriter, author and former Green Beret lies close to death in a Guatemala City hospital. On his way home in a cab from a day of drinking and carousing he was shot. A victim of robbery, assassination, or general bad luck is uncertain. What is certain, somewhere along the Antigua Highway a jacketed round entered his skull just above his ear and plowed through his brain destroying one third of it. The cabby says Sadler’s .380 Pietro Berretta pistol was out and went off. So does the young senorita riding with Barry who vamoosed shortly after the incident. She was lucky because the cabby spent a year in jail for just being there. This is the beginning of the end of Barry Sadler’s tumultuous life
