I saw your picture today while going through this box
hadn't seen it for awhile thought it was lost
Joy
Sorrow
Pain
Laughter all mixed together
As memories from the past and emotions flood my soul

A friendly game of cards
Poker
Blackjack 21
Take your pick
No gambling just friends sitting around a table
Drinking beer
Eating snacks
And playing cards conversation light
Laughing telling jokes
Memories remembered
Memories made

The ole swimming hole
Oh what fun we had
Going out over the water on the rope swing
Then letting go with a splash
Splash fights with each other
Pulling one another under the water
Finding things in the mud

Sitting around a campfire
Telling ghost stories all night
Roasting hot dogs on a stick
Who got a story to tell
Who can put chills up our spines
Let the fun begin

Tanks
Jeeps
Trucks
Waiting for the call
Soldiers on foot
Waiting for orders to come


Defending freedom
Fight against the foe
No matter the cost
We must go

Her beauty lights up my life
Her personality brightens my soul


Dark and scary my life was
Then she came along


Now joy flows in mighty waves
Drowning out my darkest days

Depression
Lost
Wandering in a fog


Unclear path before me
Unclear
Unsteady
