That's very impressive
don't you see for
your little gal to have been
in Iraq under the gun
on the right side of it
we prayed quite a bit
all was said and done
your little one came back
and Nurse Mary is proud as can be.
Great Job bestest girlfriend
This is quite true best of friend
from Iraq to home Karen flew
She never asked why
She said I will try
For my country because I love you.
A Night amid the Ruins
Black wind tearing at the ancient stone
of the castle empty now of meaning
where once so many lives
were filled with life and strife
and now only an empty stage
for the wind’s dark rage
Chill the night to set the moment’s tone
and I huddle by a wall half leaning
as wind screams and in torment strives
for the night seems to have its own life
writing its own moment upon history’s page
across a time stained age
I sit here by myself and yet not alone
for there is a voice within the wind’s keening
and it is as cutting as well edged knives
amid the turmoil of nature’s dark rife
a story for any who’s are a patient sage
this story of soldier, peasant, lord, and mage
