Just a Soldier's blog: "A little about me..."

Inspired by a true story... To be or not makes no matter In this life of smear and spatter a name by any other would sound the same To some it's serious to others a game No one knows the truth you see except for the liar and of course for me Should they win My name shall die and my family will be left asking the why They'll not win to this I vow My name I shall keep I don't care how It was good till now and will continue so The liar will fall this much I know So in this world of love and hate I the give and He the take Will champion my cause and win this war and clear my name as it was before

I know I don't deserve her To her life I can only give pain and doubt and misery and that's no way to live So I'll go on being what I am and Love her from afar And every night before I sleep I'll wish upon a star Not for her love to guide me But for a life of love May she forever be happy I'll ask the maker above

In the small hours of the morning When the world is cold and still I hear you calling out my name In the early morning chill Giving in to superstition doesn't help my lonelyness all I can see around my mind is a chilling, killing darkness My heart cries out to find my love The one ment just for me I am so blind without her can't someone help me to see When the game is played out and I see the makers eye still in the cold and darkness It will be my time to die

A Perfectly Good Blue Mood I was doin' fine till you walked up and tried to brighten my day Sittin at the bar with tears in my eyes drinkin' my blues away You turned on the charm and patted my arm and said it can't be that bad I looked at you said you don't have a clue 'cause I really want to be sad Girl you don't know what you're doin' please don't try to lighten my heart you don't realize you're about to ruin a perfectly good blue mood So I'll have another beer and sing somebody done wrong I'll try to get back to my tears don't think it'll take long You can go to hell bet you can do it well while I enjoy this Perfectly Good Blue Mood

What If... What If money didn't matter? What if Picaso could only splatter? What if Beethoven penned no tune? What if Sinatra didn't crune? What if mountains were really flat? What if elephants were the size of a cat? What if trains didn't run on tracks? What if there weren't such thing as tax? What if life was a sick cruel joke? What if banks were really broke? What if God was just a man? What if Ernhardt had no fan? What if music was just a noise? what if girls never loved boys? what if hearts never had to break? what if cows didn't give steak? What if there was no what if?

To those who have lost their dream, Ice blue skies with cold falling rain or white meadows where once grew grain A frozen pond where kids go to skate the clear crisp air on a night dark and late The hearth aglow with warmth from the fire and you drift of to sounds of an angelic choir Morning dawns and the sun is bright removing the last of a cold winters night Sunbeams glisten off the new fallen snow in the stream crystal clear waters do flow A reminder to you that life doesn't end it's a time to share with your best friend As I leave you with these parting words take a moment to dream you can fly like the birds

I look over my life and see the things I've done I look at the contests I've never won I see the things that went wrong I see the words never put into a song I see the days fade into night I see the flickering of the light I changed the things I could and endured the rest My life now is going to be the best Working on the future and blocking out the past Know each day on earth may be my very last I'll live for today and look ahead with glee I thank god I realized I live a life of the free I will remember the past and use it to learn I will work hard and the things I have I will earn No more living in sorrow I will never be down again.

To all of the dreamers: keep dreaming, and soar on your wings. Being free cost nothing you see Upon my Wings I Float in the Breeze Taking in the Noontime Sun Traveling to new places just for fun Every day is a new Story Revieling Nature in all it's glory Falling and climbing Where ever I go Leaving the World Far Below When It's time for me to wake It's a sadness from dreamland I take Now don't be afraid It I'll not keep Going away is no reason to weep See I'll go back when Ever I Sleep

On Dove's Wings Dedicated to the victims of 9/11/2001 In the air flies a lone white dove casting a shadow upon the earth flying free without care or fear Above the land of the free In these dark hours we search for the why not knowing which hour might be our last An ever changing world beckons us to fight as fear causes us to flee In my heart I know the truth I long to be free from fear like Dove in flight my heart is calm it races for the hight to see The world below the clouds seems so small and insignificant the fears and pain gone away On Dove's wings is where I long to be

My One Last Cry Dedicated to my friends who stuck by me in my darkest hour Precious moments in Life's care Pass with the blink of an eye Hate, hope, love, dispare All diminish with one last cry Night stalks like a panther Hunting down her prey Consuming like a cancer No more to see the day An open wound to never heal No more pain to ever feel Nothing's left for them to steal No time to eat their one last meal An innocence forever lost the price we pay an injust cost As ships at sea we have been tossed Breathing in the poisoned exhaust So on this day I make my adieu And blow you a kiss good-bye If tears are really the song of the blue Then I sing my one last cry
