[Soaring Feather]

For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday
Thank the Veterans who served in the United States Armed Forces.

Veteran's Day

National Anthem

Grand Old Flag

On this day we Thank You Vets

for standing on the side of right.

For standing in the muddy trench

before the enemy of freedom.

For marching on the side of justice

to keep a nation free,

For standing in the line of fire,

to hold off oppression 

to hold a child not yours,

to build a school for those who have none

and to give a smile to anyone who needs one.

We Thank You Vets, for all you've done.

Trevor, Trevor, you are oh so clever
turning eighteen today,
does this mean you'll go away?
oh where did they go?
Those years I want to know
when frogs in your pocket
and an old fishing pole
made your heart sing!

My Trevor and now you're
eighteen, all grown
and bold
Trevor my Trevor where did the years go!

[Kathy in Alaska]

ms feather.....#350!!

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
On the ! days you're feeling blue.


If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.


If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there.

Children are our greatest gift...then they give it back with grandchildren. I just want a good break in between! LOL

Evening Armyboy. Good to see you.

Oh my now you've done it! I have tears streaming down my face & I can't see to type! The funny thing is & maybe that's just boys, we used to go fishing all the time just him & I. Dad doesn't like to fish anymore. There is a dry well near our home & when it rains hard the puddle fills with polywogs. Every time they would show up I would find buckets or bowls or jars of them in his room. One year he dumped a whole jar...hundreds of them in his fish tank. It killed all the fish in the end but they ate like kings for a day! I am printing this out for him (and me). You've touched my heart & I think you're a gem! Thank you Ms Feather. Very much.
