Pretty colors in the trees

Orange, yellow, browns and greens

So many colors that are seen

Such a beauty, I only see in my dreams

Falling leaves hit the ground

Floating freely, don’t make a sound

Breezes blow, through the trees

Pollen fly’s and makes you sneeze.

All the leaves on the ground, Winters next stop

Cold air constant as winds blow, temperatures drop

Black ice on the black top

Huge icicles hanging from homes

Igloo forts in the shape of domes

Snow melts seasons change again

Want to be warm, just waiting for weatherman to say when

Here comes Spring, animals wake from their sleep

Standing on the mountainside are the sheep

Seasons changing with color of the leaves

I sit here alone with my thoughts
Thinking about so many things
Worried about what the rest of the day will bring
I think about the job I do
Am I good enough, what do I have to prove?
Did the patient last night make it through
I feel like I should know so much more
Because I never know what's in store
My thoughts sometimes get the best of me
It's time for me to let go and be free
Thoughts are there, why am I so scared?
Afraid to be alone
No one for me to pick up the phone
Racing thoughts won't stop
Tears down my face
Thoughts betray my safe place
Sitting alone thoughts in my mind
Close my eyes, breath and unwind
Body relaxes, a breath of fresh air
Thoughts make me so scared
Can't get the best of me I will never be free

Families hold dog tags of loved ones lost

Fought for our freedom with pain and great cost

Families and friends keep memories alive

Watching from heaven pray their buddies survive

Gone but not forgotten forever they'll be

No more hurt, souls and spirits are free

We say their names in our  prayers

Forever in our hearts, they'll always be there

Battlefield cross, no soldier wants to see

Dog tags of friends, it could've been me

Their heads hang low as they pray

No one knows really what to say

They all kiss their dog tags and cry

Raise their heads to heaven GOODBYE!!

Imaginary shapes in the clouds above
Birds on a wire looks like a dove
Warm breeze blowing on a summer day
Beautiful blue skies a gorgeous day
Planes flying high up in the sky
so for away you only hear them
Picking flowers by their stems
waiting to see them grow again
Colors rich and bright
Such a beautiful site

they make you forget about everything wrong
Stress and anxieties go away helps your mind become strong
Flowers blooming once again
I continue to pick them by the stems
Purple, red, orange and white
Colors of my delight
Flowers brighten up my room what a site
what a gorgeous way to end my day

Chasing dreams in the night
Powerful thoughts with lots of fight
Dreams of space and time
Imagination wanders as I unwind
Fairies and unicorns in my world
Things I always dreamed of as a young girl
Dreams keep you going to the next day
Often help you find your way
Flying Pegasus carries me
High in the sky, feeling so free
Chasing dreams in the night
Dream warrior ready to fight
Darkness comes to my world, things begin to fade
Feelings of wakefulness begins to invade
Morning sun, in my window shining bright
Closing my eyes wishing it was night
Chasing dreams

Colors of the earth, so beautiful and serene
Reds,Blues, browns and greens
Ocean so blue and in places so clear
Standing and enjoying things from the peer
Mountain ranges that reach the sky
Some higher than helicopters fly
All types of trees blanket the earth
Seedlings planted awaiting their birth
Creatures of the earth roaming free
So many , enjoy the earths beauty
Colors of the earth, beauty so grand
Covers so much of the land
Light brown, dark brown sands of the earth
Creatures of the sands hide and give birth
Desert sands, dunes so many
Shine in the desert sun, almost like a brand new penny
Colors of the earth remain beautiful and serene
Reds, blues, browns and greens

Raise your hand and repeat after me
The commercial said you would be all you could be
You will travel and definitely see the world
In your fatigues and standing tall
In a firefight with your back against the wall
Your buddies scream as bullets fly
Black hawks firing rockets from the sky
Hit the dirt as the explosions began
Dug in deep upon the sand
When the smoke clears you look around
Slowly your buddies get off the ground
All accept one who does move
He was so young and felt like he had something to prove
He sacrificed himself to protect someone
Hid the young from a machine gun
Soldiers cross for his sacrifice
We will never forget, he gave his life
Soldiers sacrifice each and everyday
We should thank them each and every day
