I live near NAS Jacksonville
Everyday
One or more planes fly over head

Sometimes you can hear the sonic boom
And that sounds looms
For a minute or two

The whole house shakes
You think what the heck
And look outside
To see planes fly over head

It is especially bad
When the "Blue Angels" are in town
Then your house shakes everyday
As planes fly over head

We try walking at the park near NAS
But the planes fly over head
And our ears feel like they will burst

So when planes fly over head
Hold your ears
And hold down stuff in your house
Or you will suffer the consequences

Cold hands means a warm heart

Gotta love it.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!

and do you ever feel like "ducking?"

liked the repitition of "planes fly overhead"

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

(giggles in delight) Oh my gosh, one time we went to this air show near our house at the Jefferson County Airport and when those planes that deliver slurry to stop the fires flew over us, wow, they were loud! (big hugggsssss) I know just how you feel, sweet friend, hope you can enjoy a quiet stroll in the park soon, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Julie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

My Dad lives near an army training area... where jets sometime fly at tree top level and an open cabinet means a shower of broken dishes. *S* Maneuver times sure lack the peacefulness you'd expect out in the country! LOL

My last duty station in the navy was a bomb range in central Florida.Try 500 lb. bombs exploding a quarter mile from where you live.

After 9/11, that would be a bit too close for my nerves. I supposed though, you get used to hearing them.

Nice job writing.  Hugs, Marti
