Bring Us Home Again
He slowly came awake today and he lumbered to his feet, for it was just two hours before that he faded off to sleep.
He donned the day's attire and grabbed his M-16. He headed off to breakfast to keep him strong and lean.
As he walked down to the chow line he kept a watchful eye. He didn't want the enemy to take him by surprise.
As the chaplin said a special prayer on this very special day, he kept thinking of his family that is oh so far away.
He rubbed his left breast pocket where he keeps a picture of his wife and a letter from his daughter that he reads most every night.
He fought back a single tear as he stared out at the sand, wishing he could be back home with his family close at hand.
He shook his head to clear his thoughts and then be on his way. He's defending our great country and has little time to play.
When he got out to the fence line, his buddy by his side, he exchanged a "Merry Christmas" followed by a tired sigh.
He climbed upon the watchtower, his mouth a tiny grin. He said, "Merry Christmas to the world" and "God, please, bring us home again".

Thank you, Teenie.
I hope they will appreciate them someday. I’ve asked the younger one’s mothers to please put them away for them.
I hope to get updates and additional info for them next Christmas.

What a beautiful Christmas gift for these old eyes on Christmas eve. I wanted to drop in and wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS, even though I never seem to have time to spend with all the wonderful people here. Most of the time I find that I only have time to scan the headlines and check out what seems to be important threads. I really miss the good times here at Amy’s place. I wish for each one of you a blessed Christmas. May your dreams and wishes come true.

I hope so too Amy. Had did I used to have time to spend so much time on FR? Tonight, for the first time in ages, I'm caught up (almost). We did something different this year. We had Christmas dinner today so Roy & family could come and eat with us. Tomorrow they go to her mother's.
It was great because hubby and I cooked together at a slower pace, we had dinner at 3:00 and I was through in the kitchen before we all went to one of hubby's churches for the Christmas Eve Communion service. The kids will bring Emma over in the morning around 11:00 for her Santa at Grammy's and gift exchanges. We won't have to cut short our gifting to "put the turkey on". After they leave just the three of us (J's brother) will enjoy leftovers from today. We have decided that this is much more fun and less stressful for everyone.
So tonight I'm feeling pretty relaxed. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
