The Dragonflies'Lair~Tread LII
Poets of The Lair | May 1, 2008 | Soaring Feather

Posted on 04/30/2008 11:44:25 PM PDT by Soaring Feather





My Dragonfly 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 guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...


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...

We Remember


We remember, your answer to your nation's call
we remember, when so many of you gave your all
we remember, so many of you whose blood was shed
so the rest of us did not have to dread, a bomb at dawn
on our shores, terror in our streets, trembling behind locked doors,
lest we open them to a enemy.


Our rights you secured with your life
Old Glory, flies freely this day for us
it was the price you paid for your fellowmen
to live in freedom in this great land.


We remember, the price was far to costly
the price of war is never cheap
lives are spent as families weep,
we remember your valor on this day,
your precious life was taken away.
Hale to Heroes of all past and current wars.


We Remember.

Wonderful graphic.
I went with my mother to church for a prayer vigil when the news came of DDay. I was too young to realze then what was before our troops...but I knew it was important and dangerous.

You Are A Soldier
 
  You're a father, mother, son,
daughter, brother or sister
Yet you are willing to give up
your life for our freedom
You are a friend and you
are family

This is your calling
It is what you are meant to do
You are a soldier

We constantly pray for you
to come home soon
We know that you are doing
your job
Thank you for all you do

Right now you are somewhere
in the world(Iraq or Afghanistan)
You are fighting for freedom
And we anxiously await your
return

This is your calling
It is what you are meant to do
You are a soldier

Grace Hays

I want to think they are all alive, but that can’t be so I’ll guess they’re alive except for Gardenia.
