[Soaring Feather]

Eulogy for a Veteran
(Author Unknown)


Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the Gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

I love this poem.

Soldier

It's good to feel pain, It lets me know I'm alive. Roll with the thunder, Know that I'll survive. March on I'm a soldier, No matter the war. Keep my head up I'm a soldier, I'm tough to the core. My fear is my weakness, Let my weakness be gone. I know I'm a soldier, I've been one all along. We are picking our battles, Fighting our wars. We hold the weight of the world, Our minds and bodies are sore. But push on I'm on a soldier, The stronger of some. A soldier of life, In an army of one. It's good to feel pain, It lets me know I'm alive. Take the jolt of lightning, Know that I'll survive. Lil Phoenix

In gratitude to those who gave so much. I thank God for the men and women in the military, past and present. May they be rewarded throughout all eternity.
