Gods Lend Child "I'll lend to you for a little while, a child of mine" God said,Gods Lend Child by ~uscggirlfriend
"For you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years—or forty-two or three:
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you—and should his stay be brief-
You'll have his lovely memory as a solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lesson's taught below, I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true,
And from the folks that crowd life's lane- I have chosen
The Wall I went to see the wall today,The Wall by ~uscggirlfriend
Then sat down to silently pray.
"Dear Lord, there are so many names of women and men,
Who went off to war, destined not to return again.
Faceless names written in stone,
Many POW's and MIA's who didn't come home.
Many more who gave their all,
Fighting there for freedom's call.
They are much more than just names on the wall.
Until we know where they all are,
Left in that land so far,
Away from family and friends,
We need to bring them home again.
We need to show the world we care for our own,
These young men and women, we must bring them home.
Please Lord, give me strength to carry on this fight,
The Flag The FlagThe Flag by ~uscggirlfriend
I have many names, Old Glory, Stars and Stripes, and Stars and Bars,
I can be seen all over this great land of ours.
I am but a symbol for all to see,
Of our pride in America, The Land of The Free.
I've stayed strong in times of peace and war,
I've been seen on many a foreign shore.
Many lives have been lost throughout the years,
And I've seen people shed many tears,
But we have fought our battles, heads held high,
Our love of America does not die.
Now terrorism has come to our door,
In a way that it never has before,
Many innocent lives have been lost
And we have all paid a terrible cost,
If I die before you wake... If I die before you wake...If I die before you wake... by ~uscggirlfriend
Back home now I know you're probably sleepin'
Over here it's the middle of the day
I finally found the time to write a letter
Sittin' here a half a world away
I heard about all them folks protestin'
As if I really want this war
But that don't stop me from believin'
There's just some things worth fightin' for
And if I die before you wake,
I pray the world will take
A good look at what God's given us
That we could only understand,
everything is in his hands
All we need is a little faith and trust
I want you to know it ain't too high a price to pay
If I die before you wake
