An adventure is starting one step at a time,
the first one taken,
you have a lot on your mind.
The anxiety you feel in the good times
and bad,
and confusing are feeling
both happy and sad.
Dreams coming true
might be hard to take in,
and no one deserves it more,
than you my friend
You who possess the strength and confidence
to be all you can be,
An inspiring soul for all to see.
As you step down the road
step hard, fast and true,
On wings of the angels
our prayers are with you.

JP,

This poem has many layers I believe, but tonight I just have to believe that it is a prayer for our soldiers as they go bravely into this war, proud to be fighting for their country.  Great poem.

To me this is a story for one on the recovery road.  You told it well.  Now why am I not getting a vote box? Hmmm...
