The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Yesterday I was honored during a Volunteer appreciation ceremony here on base. At the luncheon there was a local singer that sang three songs. Of the songs she sang, the following song reduced many of the people present to tears.



It has touched me and as many know, from a great many of my writings, I am proudly a soldier's wife.



I wish to share this song with you because it puts to words what so many military spouses feel. In today’s Military it is not just the men that go off to the different conflicts, it is the women as well.





A Soldier's Wife

by Roxie Dean



Breaking News from a desert town

Smoke and rubble on the ground

The names we do not know right now

And it cuts me like a knife



With a tearful goodbye kiss

I sent him off to this

But I've gotta stay strong for our kids

I'm a soldier's wife



I run the house

I sleep alone

I live for e-mails

And the phone calls home

I tell my children he will be all right

And I hope it's not a lie

I'm a soldier's wife



We do the things we used to do

Go to church, go to school

But you could drive a truck right through

The hole that's in our lives



My little boy shoots me a grin

And says he wants to be like him

And I feel my heart start caving in

I'm a soldier's wife



Sometimes I'm angry

Sometimes confused

I live and die by

The evening news

But I tell my babies he will be all right

And I hope it's not a lie

I'm a soldier's wife



I pray for strength

I pray for peace

I pray that he comes home to me

And if you would please pray for me

I'm a soldier's wife.

Recently I got to see the movie Meet the Robinsons again with Khornesone. This song has stuck with me since last nights viewing.



So when a song stays in my mind that tells me I need to learn it. Here we go folks, this is part of me learning this song. Here are the lyrics for you to enjoy.





Little Wonders by Rob Thomas



let it go,

let it roll right off your shoulder

don't you know

the hardest part is over

let it in,

let your clarity define you

in the end

we will only just remember how it feels



our lives are made

in these small hours

these little wonders,

these twists & turns of fate

time falls away,

but these small hours,

these small hours still remain



let it slide,

let your troubles fall behind you

let it shine

until you feel it all around you

and I don't mind

if it's me you need to turn to

we'll get by,

it's the heart that really matters in the end



our lives are made

in these small hours

these little wonders,

these twists & turns of fate

time falls away,

but these small hours,

these small hours still remain



all of my regret

will wash away some how

but I can not forget

the way I feel right now



in these small hours

these little wonders

these twists & turns of fate

these twists & turns of fate

time falls away but these small hours

these small hours, still remain,

still remain

these little wonders

these twists & turns of fate

time falls away

but these small hours

these little wonders still remain

An earth bound angel

by Denise R. Davio

Do you see her, right there beside you?

Do you feel her hand upon your elbow, guiding you a different way?

Can you hear her encouraging voice whispering into your ear?

No?

I can see her, her steps match yours.

Her angelic wings shelter you from that storm raging around you.

See her foot prints where she helped you along.

The dirt under her nails as she helps dig into the foundation of your life to lay stronger roots.

See the green shoots of her love and caring as she plants you within her garden of souls to nurture.

Hear her laughter and the song upon her lips, the words that she gifts to you in your time of need or thanks.

The touch of her helping hands upon your wounded pride as she gives you a lift up to a better place.

Do you see her, the earth bound angel?

She is one of many that are here, many that will help you when your paths cross.

She asks not for the glory that many would heap upon her gentle shoulders, instead she gives of herself without hesitation.

This is an earth bound angel, can you see her?

Can you hear her?

Can you touch her as she has touched you?

Thank you darling angel, placed here upon this earth to help others, we would be lost without you.

Precious earth bound angel, how your smile radiates upon your garden of compassion.

Fear not for I see you, I know of the good works that you do and I thank you from the bottom of my soul.

I see the beauty contained within an earth bound angel and I am richer for it, blessed if you will, for this friend.
