Medivac landing, rotors turning with an omninous roar

Medics open the sliding door, boots on the ground

Blood dripping down his face, holding his buddy’s hand

Kneeling down next to his stretcher in the Iraqi sand

Wounded soldiers loaded on board

Medivac doors slams shut the door, and lifts to the air

Medics immediately begin emergency care

Blood stained uniforms cut away, blood sweep done

Fluids hanging, holding his buddy’s hand , he won’t let go



Blood drenched face, he takes a deep breath

No more fighting my friend, we cheated death

Back against the helicopter wall he closes his eyes

Thinking that this was the day he may not have survived

We go home together or not at all

You hear your buddy say from the stretcher, it was my call



We’re okay my friend, we won the fight

You are going to sleep in a warm bed tonight

He takes a deep breath and his hands begin to shake

I’m still here he says to himself, I’m still here

When you are able will sit down and have a beer.

Patrol today, battle at night

Getting to tired to fight

Piece by piece my spirit drains

Blood from my friends leaves a stain

Sadness and pain of empty faces

Watching us from different places

Is the enemy hiding is dark places?

Piece by Piece the innocent rebuild

So many innocent people and soldiers killed

How do they find happiness amongst destruction?

Children play in the streets

Such a simple culture that continues to survive

It takes so much to stay alive

Piece by Piece broken spirits return

So many simple things I have learned

Patrol today, thank god no battle tonight

Pieces of me are over the fight.

No more battles, no more death

So many buddies turned to ****

Bodies and Spirits destroyed from that life

Going home and pick up the pieces with his my wife

Pieces by Piece my pain goes away

With the rise of the sun, begins a new day

step outside to morning quiet
No a soul is sight
The world slowly starts to wake
From a long and peaceful night
Color returns to the sky
As the stars go to sleep
This is a picture is my mind I will forever keep
Peaceful morning as cars drive by
It's such a beautiful day I will not lie
As I look up towards the sky
I close my eyes and take a deep breath
How I love morning quiet

Last one to be picked for a team
Last one to be asked to see a movie on the big screen
Always wondered what I am doing wrong
Used to playing by myself and listening to songs
Far from the prettiest girl in school
I never played by there rules
Not skinny enough or had perfect hair
Just wanted some friends who were fair
Finally asked to the prom by a guy
2 weeks later he said goodbye
Last to be asked to the big dance
All I ever wanted was a chance
Guess I will last in everything I do
Another rough patch to get through
Often wondered why people couldn't see me for who I am
I'm not looking for attention or pulling a scam
I guess the answers I will never find
Just want people to see to be honest and kind
Last One

As young kids we were so naive
Whatever someone told you
You would believe
People grow up and apart
I wish I would have known that from the start
I was always alone
I never fit in
Was always the one picked last in gym
Over the years you see what your old friends have done
Some have succeeded, others have failed
Some have hit the open trail
I look back at that time and wish things could have been better.
Sometimes I wish I could write those people letters
I would say to the bullies
You have not won!!!
I am skinnier now and I do not weigh a ton
I have succeeded in life, I am on my second career
What have you done in the past year?
Looking back on my life , it made me who I am
I learned how to take a stand
Looking back, I'm glad I am who I am

Lost in time I find my dreams

Open my eyes nothing is what it seems

Daydreams come few and far between

I see myself in fields of green

Far off places, no car can find

Place of peace, persons so kind

Peaceful lakes and blankets of trees

Green pastures as far as the eye can see



Lost in time I find myself

Back from when I put my life on a shelf

Almost grown my children are

Goals they set, they will go far



Lost in time, the older I become

Maybe now its time for fun

Putting everyone else before me

Now it's time for my spirit to be free

I close my eyes my imagination soars

So many things for me to explore

In my life I want so much more

Mother Natures Anger

Blowing breezes, wind chimes sing
Who knows what today's weather will bring
Clouds in the sky, dark and mean
Pouring rain makes grass green
Earth drinks until can't drink any more
Here comes the floods across the floor
Families run to the door
Mother Natures angry, her fury rages
I can no longer see the rain guages
Angry winds scream fiercely and loud
Blacker than black storm clouds
Pieces of homes and trees in the sky
Funnel cloud creeping down, see it fly
Pain and destructive what it brings
When it ends, it destroyed everything
Darkness slowly starts to fade
Trees are gone, no more shade
Blowing winds, silence reigns
Out from the rubble you can see the plains
Mother natures anger is finally gone
Slowly you open your eyes here comes the dawn
