Ree, I was replying to your post about your kids all being home together and this demanded to be written. It is for your sons and all men and women who serve this country.
Thank You
Our soldiers go as in the past
We gather 'round and pray
That this war could be over fast
And they return to stay.
Hard as it is to watch them go
Marching off to war
I know down deep here in my soul
Just what they are marching for
They leave their homes and bear the strife
To defend our liberty
And to protect our way of life
No, freedom isn't free
So hear me now as I do write
To those who answered freedom's call
You men and women who now fight
God Bless You and Thank You one and all.
Mike aka Gator

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you,
Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

You're a poet
and don't even know it.
But your feet show it
'cause they're Longfellow. 
You really amaze me Mike! You have a real talent for conveying your feelings in verse. No doubt, you've moistened Ree's eyes. I'd like to have half your talent!
Thank You,

I know that the Good Lord won't put any more on you than you can stand, but sometimes I wish He weren't quite so PROUD of ME!
