Hero’s

Some say thanks
Others have turned away,
The respective one
Showing compassion 
For a stolen youth.
They make the men that today are marked.
Racked with torment, fear, and guilt. 
These men are lost On those of us left to Play on the stage of life. 
These men are people forgotten. 
Left to deal with demons.
They still leave the safety of home.
They come to stand and say I will come.
I will stand.
I will be the voice for them who cannot.
These are the strong in heart and mind.
They long to be able to find
A place to call home. 
They are the valiant!
They are the brave among us.
They walk on fire. 
They protect home.
They are the very best and brightest
That as a nation we have to give. 
They are the ones given trust. 
Held to a higher law.
These give passion and voice 
To Lady Liberty!
Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
Freedom the cry of him we call
SOLDIER
To them we call;
From ten; they answer each and everytime.

Get up, get out, and stay out of the weeds

Often times I let my mind linger in the weeds. Lost in a pasture of things that don't really matter.  The things that need my time; The heart, the promise of peace, the joy that comes from a new born babies cry. The sadness of leaving behind the love of a lifetime to but start another adventure.  The things that tie us down and require something of us these are the things that matter the least. They are time drains. In these times the power is given to avoid.  All of these are but experience. Things that let us know that we are alive. Things that whisper that only life can bring. In these the simple things do we find the things that matter most!  Now is the time to build relationships. Now is the time to answer the call. Now is the time to climb out of the weeds and focus on the heart and the simple things prepared for man.

Listen

Listen  Sit back and you will hear the sounds of people running here and there.  All are caught up with worldly lives Forgetting what matters most Yet, All around the sounds are very clear, Clarity is the voice of peace.  Trust opens doors that  were shut And opens communication that calls on all those fighting to cease. Too often conflict arises due to misunderstanding.  To tell  a different story.  Reaction causes one another to lash out. In turn giving way to deception and fear.  the effort of peace and trust is lost. Leaving one to hope for cooler heads to prevail. Then once again to start down the road hoping to achieve some unity.

Learn From Opportunity

It is easy to find the answer when one is on the outside looking in. It is easy to be aware when not affected by outcomes. Somethings are easier left unsaid when not caught up in the emotions and fear of consequence.  It is easy to walk in the trail that others have carved. The life not lived is easy to find fault of. In the moment when decisions must be made it is easy to do what others might expect.  Now is the time to act, not to be acted upon. Be that person who looks on the heart of a man, take the opportunity to walk in his shoes. Seek to be the trailblazer rather than the vast many stuck in the ruts of life struggling to see a way out of the pain of history's mistakes.
