Candle in the Window

Theresa · **Tue Mar 18, 2003 7:34 pm Candle in the Window**

This has been going on here in the USA. It's to show support of the troops, not the war.
I think the subject title explains it, but......

People are putting candles in their windows to show support, solidarity.

I hope for their lives, I resent their cause, I watch it all from my small window, as I look out on all things in my life. Life and death pass and return, eternally spinning. We are powerless, and so I watch eternally.

you resent the cause to protect our freedom?

In Your Honor

Unselfishly, you left your fathers and your mothers, You left behind your sisters and your brothers. Leaving your beloved children and wives, You put on hold, your dreams—your lives.
On foreign soil, you found yourself planted To fight for those whose freedom you granted. Without your sacrifice, their cause would be lost But you carried onward, no matter the cost.

Many horrors you had endured and seen. Many faces had haunted your dreams. You cheered as your enemies littered the ground; You cried as your brothers fell all around.

When it was over, you all came back home, Some were left with memories to face all alone; Some found themselves in the company of friends As their crosses cast shadows across the land.

Those who survived were forever scarred Emotionally, physically, permanently marred. Those who did not now sleep eternally ‘Neath the ground they had given their lives to keep free.

With a hand upon my heart, I feel The pride and respect; my reverence is revealed In the tears that now stream down my upturned face As our flag waves above you, in her glory and grace. Freedom was the gift that you unselfishly gave Pain and death was the price that you ultimately paid. Every day, I give my utmost admiration To those who had fought to defend our nation.
