New to PIP.Turned onto it by Marge Tindal. Enjoy! Abe MEMORIAL DAY A time for picnics, time off work - Vacations and the "Indy" - A holiday, too often times We forget what, it should be. A time to pay respect to those Who rallied to the battle cry - Who gave their lives for liberty - Those freedoms for you and I. Such a waste of brave young souls - Some still struggling through their youth Who faced and fell willingly Before wartimes' awful truth. So as we share this holiday With our friends or family - Take a moment to give thanks to Those who died so we'd stay free. Let us strive for world peace - For the end of greed and hate - For next time, after "the war" It just may be too damned late. FREEDOMS' MEMORIAL This day is set aside to honor those who took the chance to die. But they have died in vain if we ever forget the reason why. Freedom can be like time slipping away before we even know. But we all have the choice more, a duty to battle freedoms' foe. Let us give thanks this day to all those brave who paid the highest cost. Not take it for granted and realize it easily could be lost. http://mywebpage.netscape.com/delabejones/page1.html http://mywebpage.netscape.com/delabejones/instant/memorial.html http://expage.com/page/delabejones Del "Abe" Jones [This message has been edited by Abe (05-28-2003 09:49 AM).] |

Welcome to Passions, Abe! If Marge brought you in, that means she'll probably be pulling you over to the Poetry Workshop, as well, where we're all working on sonnets...while SHE's out playing in the sandbox! You're going to enjoy it here, so settle back and get ready for a wonderful time! Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? |

"Though poppys grow in Flander's fields".Old men and politicians do'nt die in wars but young men do.I remember a comercial from the Viet Nam war era.Two old fat politicians were wrestling in an open field.Would'nt it be nice if they had to settle their differances that way. paladin |
