half mast flag and worn out boots

that’s what i see at the end of many of my veterans days

coming home from wars torn and beaten inside

many hearts filled with anger and pain

hearts turned into half mast flags that cling to the memories

the brothers lost, the good times…

It's a Good Day To be Alive



Nothing is as it was yesterday



Nothing will be the same as Tomorrow



When Tomorrow becomes today



So it's a Great Day to be alive



To witness that which will never again be



Everything changes



Even you and what you see, feel, or do



So breathe deep



And take in all the Good around you



Have a day filled with many blessings

As i've grown older i have come to see that the younger generation (40 and below) have gone mostly online for all their reading and info these days , and going through my library tonight i can't help but wonder...if..anyone even remembers the books of their youth...and what do children read today..for pleasure and dreams ..

Does anyone remember Albert Payson Turhunes "LAD OF SUNNYBANK" and his storys of Collies...…

The One, the Only, the Greatest Spirit, ever known to Mankind

Before many came to your lands or our lands from faraway places

We had One Great Spirit known to our Ancestors and Many Spirit Guides..

Many now call the Great Spirit “GOD”

Leaving many to believe they had been blessed with the Spirit of the Wolf, Eagle, Owl, or Bear and many other Spirits.

Yet on the eve of a Loved One moving on to a better place I witnessed

The Eye of The Greatest Spirit, that…

Shutting out and off that outside world

Life can change so quickly leaving many of us with whys

But if you grew up under Grandma Freeman's thumb

You learned quickly never question God

So I haven't and won't

For the last few days I have been alone

And it has been a saving grace for me

Turning off the electronics and at 1 or 1:30…

There are Stars in the heavens skies this morning

The deer have headed for the bay

Thanks to my Son Dennis

My Flag is flying day and night fully lighted…

God Knows



God knew before we were born

Every single trial and blessing we would live

Through out our lifetime

He knew when we would stray

When our Faith was wavering

He knew how our lives would affect other lives

He knew how many tears we would shed…

You can overcome those past mistakes by learning from them and continue to be the person you wanted to be! You are like a budding rose blossoming! Every…

one of my old ones, but the Music reminds me

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Well that maybe

I live in a tiny house tucked away behind some nice big trees

Just me a old man and the dawgone dawg

my daughter shutters when I open my mouth…

The stars go out. One by one.

Darkness creeps upon the night;

bright tears steam upon the sun,

until one dark dawn

we find it gone

and we have lost our light….

How can we bear what tears us apart?

Will we ever stop hearing their cries?

Each one a tear in tears of the heart-

will the day ever come

when we…

God Bless all Our Men who have stepped up and filled a Void in a Childs life

Some will never understand unless they  truly believe in a Higher Being a Creator.. One who  choses  that we remember

in order that we can move forward helping our Many Brothers and Sisters. Very  few  older than me,  and a whole hell of a lot of them younger. 

Yet this  morning was one of those days ..  Because today is Saturday my  day for making calls,  touching base.  And the…

Before my day starts we always check in with each other.. My Carol is in the UK and of course here I am.. Military Service in Foreign Countries and marriages that do not work out .. That was a small part of her life, and allowing her Son to live with his American Father was also part of her Lifes Choices.. Allowing him to grow up in a Free Country.. But always His Mom with many trips across our great dividing pond..

Her Son,…

After years of working hard, raising Families, and struggling to over come the scars of a War haed fought just so they could return home..

And as some of you know I am a Cancer Survivor..

I lost a Child…
