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...

Well UK Sunday Telegraph reporting that Burma miltary govt may be open FINALLYYYYY on how many week after cyclone disaster to aid from other countries

Also another report from Sunday UK Daily Mail claim that Gordan Brown may choose his deputy Minister to be successor because there is report that might be no confidence vote on him

HE IS A WIMP and probably because of Tory Party winning Mayor job in London

The Bivouac of the Dead
By Theodore O'Hara, 1847


The muffled drum's sad roll has beat
The soldier's last tattoo'
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few;
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread;
But Glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead.



Mansions Of The Lord

Salute to an American Soldier
 
  I salute you, Soldier!

You are doing a job I cannot do
To protect
The values I treasure
And the beautiful land
I call Home.

There are things worth fighting for-
Important things
Like freedom
And justice
And the right to live
In safety
In the way one chooses
In the place one chooses.

There are things worse than war-
Terrible things
Like oppression
And unbridled power
And cruelty
Against the innocent
Against the weak
Against anyone.

So fight, Soldier.
Fight with courage
And honor
And the knowledge that it is right.

You do what has to be done.

You bring new glory
To Old Glory.

I am proud of you.
I pray for you.
I cheer you on.
I stand behind you
With my whole heart.

I salute you, Soldier.

Yen Cress
