You seem innocent
but civilians have killed us
I must go back home
My fingers go numb from tension
God, I love/hate my trigger

God grant me
the serenity to accept
the things i cannot change
the courage to change
things i can,
and the wisdom
to know the difference

Dear God,
please keep these soldiers in your care

I take great comfort
in the reports that OUR
coalition is NOT using humans
as shields...

Thank you Kaile...
for looking at both sides
of the coin...

(big hugggsssssss) I've heard the rumor too and I can only imagine how tough it must feel to have to move on with the pressure on their backs! (sad sigh) This is very heartaching, sweet friend, I send hugs out to all the world, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kaile, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
