the rose

it is only a tiny rose bud ,a flower of gods design ; but i cannot unfold the patels with these hands of mine. The secret of unfolding flowers . Is not known to i.the flower god opens so sweetly , in my hands would fade and die . If i cannot unfold a rosebud this flower of gods design then how can i think i can unfold this life of mine ? So i'll trust in him for his leading each moment of every day and I'll look to him for his guidance. Each step of the way . For the pathway that lies before me my heavenly father knows i'll trust him to unfold the moments just as he unfolds the sweet unbeliveabley beautiful rose of his heavenly design and i say this the rose is beautiful in his hand just as you are in mine

He's standing so very tall

Not too much impresses him;

He's seen and done it all.

His hair is short, his eyes are sharp,

But his smile's a little blue.

It's the only indication

Of the hell that he's gone through.

He belongs to a sacred brotherhood,

Always Faithful 'til the end.

He has walked right into battle

And walked back out again.

Many people think him foolish

For having no regrets

About having lived through many times

Others would forget.

He's the first to go and last to know,

But never questions why,

On whether it is right or wrong,

But only do or die.

He walks a path most won't take

And has lost much along the way,

But he thinks a lot of freedom,

It's a small price to pay.

Yes, he has chosen to live a life

Off the beaten track,

Knowing well each time he's called,

He might not make it back.

So, next time you see a Devil Dog

Standing proud and true,

Be grateful for all he's given;

He's given it for you.

Don't go up and ask him

What's it's like to be in war;

Just thank God that it's your country

He's always fighting for.

And thank him too for all the hell

He's seen in that shade of green,

Thank him for having the guts

To be a United States Marine thank him for being true always faithful to the corp and his country


I swear

I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
And I swear like the shadow thats by your side

I see the questions in your eyes
I know whats weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my part
`Coz Ill stand beside you through the years
Youll only cry those happy tears
And though I make mistakes
Ill never break your heart

And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
Ill be there
I swear like a shadow thats by your side
Ill be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
Ill love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear

Ill give you every thing I can
Ill build your dreams with these two hands
Well hang some memories on the walls
And when just the two of us are there
You wont have to ask if I still care
`Coz as the time turns the page, my love wont age at all

And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
I swear (and I swear) like the shadow thats by your side
Ill be there

For better or worse, till death do us part
Ill love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear
I swear (I swear) by the moon and stars in the sky
Ill be there
I swear like the shadow thats by your side
Ill be there

For better or worse, till death do us part
Ill love you with every (single) beat of my heart
I swear, I swear, oh... I... swear...
