It seems many dreams are what make us truly fulfilled.

Long ago in the land of nod,
I felt a touch, the hand of God.
He touched my soul with his hand,
He touched my life with his plan.

Long ago in the land of dreams,
I heard a whisper as it seems.
Words I heard were from a voice,
Words I heard to make a choice.

Long ago in this world of man,
I saw a tree within the plan.
To grow together holding hands,
To grow together with no demands.

Long ago in the land I see,
Pastures of gold are not free.
Working with the one you love
Working with the guide above.

Long ago you passed away,
I was there yet did not stay.
I could not see your soul inside,
I could not see you did not hide.

Long ago in the sea of dreams,
I saw you pass without the screams.
I wish we could have spoke some more,
I wish we could have walked the floor.

Long ago in the land of men,
We made amends within this glen.
Shook upon the things we talked,
Shook upon the ground we walked.

Long ago a man was born,
Life tattered, ripped and torn.
As a man we learned of things,
As a man the songs did ring.

Long ago in the land of whispers,
Man did sing about the whiskers.
Grey will come upon the face,
Grey will come to take my place.

Long ago on this face you see,
Grey did come to be with me.
Yet to see upon this face,
Yet to see the grey in place.

Long ago they look to me
Looking long they did not see.
Yet to see the grey in me,
Yet to see the truly free.

Long ago I did know,
Of a life that did not grow,
Now to look upon this face
Now to look no grey in place.

Long ago in a far away land,
You did pass, I held your hand.
Now some years have passed away,
Now some years I’ve seen the day.

Long ago we had the dreams,
Living life without the screams.
Now in love with one like me,
Now in love, now you can see.

Looking now to Long ago love
Looking now to heights above.
Seeing many dreaming you see,
Long ago dreaming of things to be.


I think I understand Dad, Thank you.

G

Been there done that, two times last year. It seems no matter what I use for security someone is always willing to spend the time to hack for this type of info.

I hope you have better luck than me.





G

Thank you my friends, the support we show is the only thing we can do. My prayers are for those who stand on the walls of freedom.



G

Very touching.

G

Good job Txs, I think I am going to go find some relief, hope you don't mind. I am a little hot under the collar.

Long ago in a far away land,
Brothers of mine did take a stand.
They stood for justice and stood for truth,
To stand for justice, and give their youth.

Younger now from days that passed,
They stood for glory and stood fast,
Guarding the lands we all desire,
They stood strong, under deadly fire.

Who are these men who stand for truth,
Who are these men who give their youth.
Who are these men who give their all,
Who are these men who stand so tall,
Who are these women who stand beside,
Who are these women who help and guide,
Who are these women who stand by these men,
Who are these people who guard the glenn.

Think of these people women and men,
They guard the flag and do not pretend.
They stand up for justice, one and all,
They give their life when duty will call.

Even in deadest darkest of night,
These fearless soldiers do see a light.
It shines brighter as they can see,
Fighting so bravely, for you and me.

As they march or seek in the night,
Dangers we know, could snuff out their light.
Carefully aimed by colonels and staff,
Into the fray with none who will laugh.

Wave in honor to those who will share,
All of the life their body can bare.
Do not mock these soldiers who fight,
Guarding the walls each deadly night.

I will salute you, these soldiers so tall,
Those who will give life, and liberty all.
Liberty, Life, precious indeed,
If you would ask, a soldier in need.

He will answer as he stands tall,
Never in need, is my duties call.
Call on me now if you need my help,
I will protect you from seas filled with kelp

Look over there I show you my wealth,
My M16 filled and my latest stealth.
That is all I use to help those in need,
Today it’s my duty, My Duty indeed.

Never mourn me when my soul leaves,
My life is given, for those who will greave.
Greave for the day that liberty falls,
My M16 empty and my countries walls.

If this were to happen and you found a clip,
Please slip it, and pull the bolt quick.
These are the things that hold liberty’s gold,
Words from a soldier, and by a bard told.

I tell you now a soldier is true,
He stands proudly, for red, white and blue.
He stands boldly, for me and you,
He stands tall, for all that we do.
He stands alone, sometimes for days,
He stands in mud, lost in the haze.
He stands with pride, on Liberty’s walls
He stands with friends, when duty calls
He stands alone, in a far away land,
So long ago, this soldier does stand.

Answer me this and think real hard,
Would you stand alone in this big yard.
Miles away from family and friends,
Standing alone a yard to defend.

Kids will play, and poets will call,
Soldiers alone will stand on the wall.
Guarding the things on liberty’s wall,
Guarding our liberty’s, A Soldiers Call.

* I dedicate this to those in the armed forces past present and future*

2500 miles was worth the drive, I would do it again if it was necessary to find my dreams. I have traveled 1000's of miles in the last few years looking for that one to fulfill my dreams. The last 2500 were only the culmination of a long road in my destiny. Never have I found a reason to question the path I travel, and knowing I will never be lonely again has made it all worth the miles I have traveled.

It is truly a shame if a parent has no contact with thier children. To love them would be an honor not a duty, it is something I have longed for these past decades.



G

The Blue one will come, in time he will show you all the things we dream of.



G

What are friends for? I love it, it is truly nice to see the bugs at night.

G

Yes, Many great memories are here in this little place we call home. Some day this home will be in all four corners of the earth and then we can say we touched these four corners with our hearts.

It is getting late once again, this time change is still hard to get used to, been here almost three weeks and just getting used to it.



G

Watch out for the crawdads, they can get hold of just about anything.



G

LOL, Galahad is busy chasing Tiea, Kims Lab on the other side of the stream. The stars are invisible in the fog tonight, however the coolness is inviting.

Slowly the fog is falling to the ground; it seems to be engulfing the trees as it rolls in from places unknown. The lightning bugs are flitting to and fro above the piles of hay in the field. They seem to be lighting the way for the fog as it brings the moisture to the air. The sunsets glow is dancing in the distance and the clouds are turning orange, then red, and then to that deep hue of purple at the edges. The vapor trails of the night seem to be alive as they disappear into nothingness, they become invisible as the fog billows over the fields and pastures.

In the distance the dogs are chasing each other by the stream, leaping down the banks trying to catch each other as they seem to dance across the water only their paws getting wet. I wonder where that crawdad is hiding, or has it disappeared like the vapor trails? Hearing the splashes I think of dreams past, of a knoll where I will build my home, the place of my dreams by a stream of life that long ago was forgotten.

The fog reminds me of things that tried to engulf me, that tried to change my path long ago forged in the annals of my mind. Slowly I see the pictures of my life return to me as the fog becomes a screen of what has occurred in the past. I am waiting to see if the dreams of my future will be seen in this fog or if it will be yet another chapter in time I will wait for?

The dampness is soothing after the hot days of summer, it is refreshing as it wets my face, and the lightning bugs are in a fever on the pasture, lighting the way for the fog to consume the hay cuttings laying in the fields. Soon the fog will be alone, standing the test of time until morn, it will be the backdrop for my life in these green pastures of my future, long ago seen only in a dream.

Dream with me as we see yet another fog of the night allow us to dream about the morning sun. Looking forward to the warmth of the suns caress as that of a lovers tender touch. Wondering what new wonders my Lover will show me, and guide me to my new streams only found in the rivers of paradise.

Sure thing, I never saw the night so bright with bugs flying around, its really amazing.

Look at then on top of the brush over there.



G

I was making some tea, spiced has been my preferred lately.

What a beautiful night the lightning bugs were out.



G

Thank you all for the kind words, I may not write as much as I used to but I still know where I can post a word or two.

Mom, we will be there soon, time will tell when we meet. Besides I haven't seen my family in almost 3 yrs and they are very demanding I come to visit soon.



G

I will always come here, it is my home on the net. I have made several friends here and hope to never forget those who have been with me when I cried in my writing, those tears of sadness are no more, they are tears of joy. If I never succeed in anything else I know I have helped a few learn how to smile, and for that I am grateful and my life was not a waste.

The faith of those who walk these halls are the ones I owe more than they will ever know. Today I am happy, and tomorrow I will be happier, with each day I wake I know who my friends are, and they know my keyboard is only a stroke away.
