a mothers face in time of grace with voice as soft as snow with teary eyes and silent cries that only I could know so when she came unto me with a pain I could see to ask me a painfully simple question I felt torn inside and wanted to hide yet never moved nor made hesitation with a voice broken from years and soaked from midnight tears she asked me if I was in special forces I told her no ma'am I'm just a paper ham that was a different set of courses as tears fill her eyes she says as she cries my son died in that long ago as the tears start to fall she sits alone out of all and cries tears I'll always know where ever they died for the loved ones that cried I will always stand tall alone or united confused or decided for them I would proudly fall with army career and living in fear his mem'ry will I proudly maintain the star covered flag in clear plastic bag undamaged by tear or stain he died long ago in some place I don't know yet his mother remembers him well for every night she dreams of him and it seems it's her own little version of hell shine a light so bright that all can see and you will find the joys that echo within me |

My oh My Deperato....This is touching I'm impressed. This is beautiful my friend! It's not often that one finds a man that can write like this and express this kind of emotion!  Great Job! ~Sheri |

This one brought tears to my eyes when i first read it the other day... i waited to respond because i wanted to think of the right words to express how profound and important this piece is. But... I am at a loss for words except to stand and applaud. Excellent work, my friend. |
