REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Master Sgt. Mitchell W. Young, Special Forces, USA, KIA 13JUN2009

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

God Of Our Fathers



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Thank you for the cute openings yesterday and today, Billie and Amy.

Thanks for the posts, everyone.
I had to clean up the mess I made with my big cleanup, do the laundry, etc.
yesterday. and was too pooped to post.
I have errands to do today. I'll catch up!
Wishing you great day.

I need to find your source. LOL

Have a lovely Day.

It's 64º here and Algore is nowhere to be found.

The Smell Of Rain

The fresh smell of rain, So thick, and so sweet, I feel the rain on my face, And the wind on my skin, The fat drops are chilling, And send shivers down my spine, I close my eyes and raise my head toward the clouds, So young and so restless, and so full of life, So calm and collected, as the wind speaks to me, Telling me of life, and of sorrow, of love, and of joy, Of many things, both amazing and sad, Of so many answers, I wish I had had, Of hopefulness, and of uncertainty, The wind goes away, But I still hear its voice, And the fresh smell of rain, So thick and so sweet, Leaves my world once again, To help someone else. K.N. Sheldon

Darling graphic and lovely poem, LJ!

Algore is nowhere to be found

Algore is flying off in his private jet (burning gazillions of carbons), to get to his gas powered yacht (which burns gatrillions of fuel) to vacation somewhere on a glacier, where he will ask the 'gods' to speed up glow-bull warming!

Great poem, Yorkie. The graphic you chose to accompany it is perfect. Sure brings back those childhood memories. Thank you!

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, GeeBee.

That kitten is sooo cute.
Looks like you are prepping for a Wonderful Weekend. :)

I'm more than ready for the weekend.
Seems like there is something to keep me away from Amy's everyday.

Have a Terrific Thursday and a very relaxing weekend.

[JustAmy]

Thank you!

Thank you for another great poem and the perfect graphic, Yorkie.

Big Hugs.
