The back yard got a little cramped but LIR still found room for the doghouse. LOL

Oh, what a wonderful poem you wrote for this! I love it. Those two kids are made that much sweeter with your words, Bob. Thanks, Amy, for always knowing what to put together to make another day at Amy's such fun, as well as friendly and pretty!

Really nice, TEXAS SIZED U.S. flag there OK, I lived in Texas for a long time and still have some loyalty to Texas or you'd be in trouble thur bub.
Or did you mis-read the California part and thought it read Texas. Actually , even though it is in Ca. it is sort of Texas sized. ( I know, y'all could do better ).LOL

I posted this on the Finest "Military Monday" Thread this morning and decided to post it here at Amy's Place also. The poem has been around for awhile, so many may have seen it, but with our military coming under intense fire recently, I just felt that it needed to be posted again. (My apologies if I pinged you twice.)
LadyX also posted an e-mail letter passed on from the wife of a Marine on the front lines HERE; it makes me so very proud to be an American and to know how bravely our troops are fighting for us.
I am a small and precious child, my dad's been sent to fight.
The only place I'll see his face, is in my dreams at night.
He will be gone too many days for my young mind to keep track.
I may be sad, but I am proud…My daddy's got your back.
I am a caring mother. My son has gone to war.
My mind is filled with worries that I have never known before.
Everyday I try to keep my thoughts from turning black.
I may be scared, but I am proud…My son has got your back.
I am a strong and loving wife, with a husband soon to go.
There are times I'm terrified in a way most never know.
I bite my lip, and force a smile as I watch my husband pack.
My heart may break, but I am proud…My husband's got your back..
I am a soldier. Serving Proudly, standing tall.
I fight for freedom, yours and mine by answering this call.
I do my job, while knowing the thanks it sometimes lacks.
Say a prayer that I'll come home…It's me whose got your back.

May God watch over our troops and bring them home, safe and sound, to their loved ones and a grateful America.

HAY!!! I had a wonderful vacation and I see you all have been having a very wonderful time!!! Hay I just did another one...I don't know if it is a poem or not probably a short story...I don't really know well anyway here it is:
The clouds rumble as the sky darkens.
The sun goes down and the figures stand firm.
Then as lightning cracks the swords clang,
Words are thrown as the rain pours over the red ground.
The swords slid against one another!
Another swing as the swords turn red the light flashes again.
Tongue against tongue, sword against sword, for honor and valor
Then as the clouds rumble again the sword strikes hard and all seems still.
The battle, has come to an end, both lay dead.
As the blood flows forth the word is spoken "those who live by the sword die by the sword.

Hi everybody.
Once I'm in My Bubble Bath
Once I'm in my bubble bath
I like to stir up more.
Half the suds go in my eyes
And half go on the floor.
The fun is in the bubbles 'cause
They giggle on my skin,
And when I stick them on my face
They dangle from my chin.
And when I splash them hard enough
They pop and disappear,
And then my bath time's over 'cause
I've made the water clear.
-- Nicholas Gordon

Thanks for the wonderful poem, Lori. It brought tears to my eyes.
I am a soldier. Serving Proudly, standing tall.
I fight for freedom, yours and mine by answering this call.
I do my job, while knowing the thanks it sometimes lacks.
Say a prayer that I'll come home…It's me whose got your back.
