Re: Re: I cried so hard I could not read this to my son.....
Dear toni,
Thank you for visiting my thread.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier has always been something that has touched my heart even years before my son joined the Air Force. The pain the families must go through is something no one else can imagine.
It was one of the hardest things for me to do, when I took my son to sign up for the service.. But it was something that he had wanted to do for years. The night he left headed to bootcamp in San Antonio was even harder. Then the night he and his wife left moving to New Mexico to Cannon AFB was even harder. It never gets easier. But I am so very proud of him. And now he is moving even further away for me... he has been accepted to be part of the Thunderbirds crew and will be stationed in Las Vegas for the next three years. I am so proud I could jump for joy for him. I will definately tell him that a friend of mine sends hugs.
lol I know he must get tired of me praising him,,,but whats a mother to do??? LOL
{{hugs for you toni}},,when the time comes or if it does.. and your son joins the service I know you will stand by him and be as proud as any mom could be.

The Day is Done
The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of night,
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in his flight.
I see the lights of the village
Gleam through the rain and the mist,
And a feeling of sadness comes o'er me
That my soul cannot resist:
A feeling of sadness and longing,
That is not akin to pain,
and resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Come read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And banish the thoughts of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of Time.
For, like strains of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life's endless toil and endeaver;
And tonight I long for rest.
Read from some humbler poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart,
As showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start;
Who, through long days of labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
Of wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music
And the cares that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs,
And as silently still away.

I wrote this a long time ago
for a colleague on the birth of his grandchild
Oh Gentle Child
I wonder why I feel like this?
So empty, so sublime.
Could it be I've had enough,
Of this old life of mine?
Of days so gray, and nights so black,
Sat in this leaden room.
I wonder if my soul one day,
Will pass, behind the moon.
And then, my daughter comes to call,
To brighten up my day.
So filled with love, and happiness.
My mis`rey to abey.
She brings with her, that little child,
`Round whom my life I`ll weave.
So pink and warm, Grandson of mine.
What joy, I now receive.
His tender body, I do hold,
His face, its just a blur.
For teardrops issue from my eye,
As love does fill the air.
I`ll care for you, my little one,
Till sun no longer shine,
To guide you down the path of right.
To God, and love Divine.
We'll do those things that children love,
Ill take you, far and near.
And teach you, how to read those books,
Which I do hold so dear.
And when my time has come to go,
I'll see your gentle face.
And thank my Lord, dear God above,
For giving me such Grace.

YOU WERE ONCE
Author: Lily Tchen
I once loved you so much
And for so long.
Why did you leave
When I did nothing wrong?
Your smile was once the sun
On a dark, rainy day.
It would clear up the sky
And keep it from being gray.
Your eyes were once the shine
Of the world's glowing light.
Or were they the twinkling stars
That once filled the night?
Your hands once had power
To give me the softest touch.
They'd always give me a slight tingle,
Which is why I loved them so much.
Your hugs were once the medicine
That'd change a frown to cheer.
A shiver would run through my body
Every time I feel your love near.
Your kisses were once the wind,
They were fresh and breezy against my face.
They were gentle, so gentle,
It's something no one will replace.
But, now you like someone else,
And it's driving me insane.
Although it's over for us,
The love we had still remains.
And so I tell myself...
Never again will I cry.
You were once everything to me,
That I can't deny.
But I couldn't keep my promise
And broke out in tears.
The hours I've cried feel like days,
The days feel like years.
As I bury my face in the pillow,
And cry my heart out and grieve,
I've learned to never give away love
If love I don't receive.

Places to Kiss Your Love
Behind their ear.
Tip of their nose.
Back of their neck.
Underside of their forearm.
Curve of their waist.
Palm of their hand.
Inside their wrist.
Under their chin.
Their eyelids.
Inside of their ankle.
Their collar bone.
Tips of their fingers.
Their spine.
Small of their back.
Their tummy.
Behind their knees.

Distance never separates Two hearts that really care;
For memory spans the miles
And in seconds we are there.
We hear the voice, we see the smile,
And deep inside we know
That friends remain a part of us
Wherever we may go.
So we can visit anytime,
No matter when or where...
For distance never separates
Two hearts that really care.
