Red White And Oh So Blue ~*Marge Tindal*~  Drip of red 'cross morning sky White of face in shocked deny Blue, oh so blue we cry Red of dread in heart does lay Ghastly white gives emotions away Blue, oh so blue - now we pray Red come red in tear-stained eye White come light in soft goodbye Blue, oh so blue - American blood runs true United hearts of stripes and stars These colors wave in unity's furl We may weep before it's done But remember this ... These colors don't run ! ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

They sure don't! Fantastic presentation Marge, and a wonderfully patriotic message. ~*Be Kind To Your Fellow Man, Lend Him A Helping Hand, Put A Little Love In Your Heart*~ |

By Gosh I think Marge is ready to put uniform on...and so are the rest of us...Go Marge...This is the spirit that will carry is through and win our cause. Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

Terrorism is suppost to generate fear and despair. Bin Laden has been robbed of his victory. His unspeakable crimes have ignited a powerfull resolve of all Americans and hopefully the world. Terrorist must be shown once and for all their actions will no longer be tolorated. There will be no place for them to hide. Any country that harbors or supports them will be held accountable for their actions. I hope he has written his death warrant with his acts.God bless America. It is time to take out the garbage. paladin [This message has been edited by paladin (edited 09-14-2001).] |

Marge--I'm wearing a flag drapped shirt..."Proud to be an American" written on it...and up and down the streets of our town, flags are flying, on flag poles, on cars ...stuck in planters and on doors. Every tree has a yellow ribbon, thanks to my husband. The spirit is alive and well, and you have written it in this poem. Thanks and love! |

Yellow we are not! Still so blue, and red with anger, and relentlessly searching for the white light of hope. Much love and appreciation for this and for your continued spirit. Sincerely, Regina |

Marge- Though I may be slow in jumping on this one, believe me when I say, I love it! "United hearts of stripes and stars These colors wave in unity's furl We may weep before it's done But remember this ... These colors don't run !" This says it all, my friend! Your words have touched me tonight. Love you, ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, |

From heart to broken heart - I hold this truth to be - the United States Of America - is home, sweet home to me I will keep her first in respect - for what she's given me - Love of this country ever burns - in faithful service of dignity Upon the shoulders of her boulders - she brings forth in unity - Ever-bending, never-ending - love, faith and loyalty *God bless America* Bless you all ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
