Saluting with misty eyes

0 posted 2005-09-27 11:41 AM



Another star shines brightly in the sky
This evening as we lay our weary heads
Upon our beds of temporary repose
Born out of the harshness of war
Wherein young men and women
Ever the recipients of our anger
Are destined to die and die again
In the battlefields of their minds
Remembering their youth fondly
Daydreams    Nightmares
Anymore who can tell
One into the next on through their lives
As they watch their sons and daughters
Travel the paths they still walk


Yes, I did borrow the first few lines from another scribble, however I liked the way they fell together and wanted to use them in a more serious piece.

When all is said
All is done
Still I live
And carry on-
Quiet Riot

Ringo, this is a very true write.
Thanks for sharing.

Hey, how is your book going? Is there somewhere
on the internet to check into buying
it, like Amazon?
Hugs,
Ethel

Shark- Thanks for reading this. It's appreciated.

Ethyl- I sent the final (I hope) manuscript out to the publisher today along with the publicity shots. It won't be on Amazon until... heck, I don't know. Thanks.
