Nine/Eleven It's been five years since terror came From evil in the skies. Using our own against us, They were devils in disguise. So many hearts were broken, So many lives were lost. We vowed to track the villain down No matter what the cost. He hides amongst the sandy dunes, This puppeteer of might; Pulling strings and sending brain washed young To wage his fiendish fight. We send our own to battle, Love and honor as their shield. Before this robotic enemy They have refused to yield. We can't be freed from awful dread, And normal lives resume Until this taunting, gleeful monster Is hunted to his doom. No other undertaking Nor cause should interfere With our aim to rid the world of him Before another year. Our prayers are with our soldiers As in solid rank they stand And give their blood and precious lives To save us and our land. By: Joyce 9/09/06 |

MyDearFriend~ This deserves to be read ... I can't believe it hasn't been~ You pen with such emotional impact ... thank you for this~ Holding all of our service women/men in prayer vigil as they serve to keep us safer~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Nice writing...When President Bush says he's going to get bin Laden, and he doesn't, that makes him a liar...James |
