It was just a joke Nessa. A metaphor. To provide an opening in one's life for the availability of the presence of another. After thousands of posts, one incorrectly assumes your general persona is reasonably known. To someone who does not frequent those particular threads, this certainly is not the case. My little avatar is just the first one with wings I ran across and does not give a visual representation of much ... except impish humor. i don't see the humor in it at all and there comes a time for people to be mature & serious all joking and nothing substantial doesn't go far with me |

Everyone!! Dance along...sing along... There is nothing to fear when we are Somewhere Over the Rainbow!! Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops A way above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then oh why can't I? If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow Why oh why can't I? We can fly...really...just follow us!! It is the most wonderful place!!! |

Arlo Guthrie/When A Soldier Makes It Home http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=CA&hl=en&v=WDAl7lGGtSo&feature=related words and music by Arlo Guthrie Halfway around the world tonight In a strange and foreign land A soldier packs his memories As he leaves Afghanistan And back home they don't know too much There's just no way to tell I guess you had to be there For to know that war was hell Chorus: And there won't be any victory parades For those that's coming back They'll fly them in at midnight And unload the body sacks And the living will be walking down A long and lonely road Because nobody seems to care these days When a soldier makes it home They'll say it wasn't easy Just another job well done As the government in Kabul falls To the sounds of rebel guns And the faces of the comrades Being blown out of the sky Leaves you bitter with the feeling That they didn't have to die Chorus Halfway around the world tonight In a strange and foreign land A soldier unpacks memories That he saved from Vietnam Back home they didn't know too much There was just no way to tell I guess you had to be there For to know that war was hell And there wasn't any big parades For those that made it back They flew them in at midnight And unloaded all the sacks And the living were left walking down A long and lonely road Because nobody seemed to care back then When a soldier made it home The night is coming quickly And the stars are on their way As I stare into the evening Looking for the words to say That I saw the lonely soldier Just a boy that's far from home And I saw that I was just like him While upon this earth I roam And there may not be any big parades If I ever make it back As I come home under cover Through a world that can't keep track Of the heroes who have fallen Let alone the ones who won't Which is why nobody seems to care When a soldier makes it home |

Another British soldier killed in Afghanistan Tuesday, 21 July 2009 Another British soldier has been killed in a Taliban bomb attack in southern Afghanistan. The British Government says the soldier was killed during a patrol in central Helmand province yesterday. A total of 18 British soldiers have died in Afghanistan so far this month and 187 since the US and Britain invaded the country almost eight years ago. At least 27 US soldiers have also been killed in the country this month, including four who died in a roadside bomb attack yesterday. A Soldier's Prayer. The soldier stood and faced his God Which must always come to pass... He hoped his shoes were shining Just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward now, you soldier, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?" The soldier squared his shoulders and Said,"No, Lord, I guess I ain't... Because those of us who carry guns Can't always be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays And at times my talk was tough, And sometimes I've been violent, Because the streets are awfully tough. But, I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep... Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills got just too steep, And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear, And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place Among the people here... They never wanted me around Except to calm their fears. If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand, I never expected or had too much, But if you don't, I'll understand." There was a silence all around the throne Where the saints had often trod... As the soldier waited quietly, For the judgment of his God, "Step forward now you soldier, Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in Hell." Oh yes , he has done his time in hell Oh God ..please bless our Soldiers all of them British, Canadian , French, Australian American all of our Allies Lord ...I don't even know who they all are but Please Keep our Soldiers safe and i pray for the brave souls of those who didn't make it home and for the Families of those who aren't coming home Lord God Please Spread your loving hands over this fair planet & heal our lands |

Your pictures of the earth are breathtaking. Makes my feet itch for far places... Thank you. wow, thank you soo much thanks for stopping by i get the urge for going quite a bit myself but once in a while i get to spread my wings & fly URGE FOR GOING -- Joni Mitchell - performed by Tom Rush http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wq6_uL6AiY Joni Mitchell 1966 Urge for Going http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2NgDnX-Uwo&feature=related And I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down When the sun turns traitor cold And shivering trees are standing in a naked row I get the urge for going but I never seem to go And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown Summertime is falling down winter's closing in I had a man in summertime with summer colored skin And not another girl in town my darling's heart could win But when the leaves fell trembling down And bully winds did rub their face down in the snow She got the urge for going I had to let him go She got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown And summertime was falling down and winters closing in Now the warriors of winter they give a cold triumphant shout All that stays is dying all that lives is getting out See the geese in chevron flight Flapping and a-racin on before the snow Got the urge for going they've got the wings to go And they get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown Summertime is falling down and winter's closing in I'll ply the fire with kindling, I'll pull the blankets to my chin I'll lock the vagrant winter out I'll bolt my wandering in I'd like to call back summertime And have her stay for just another month or so But she's got the urge for going I guess she'll have to go And she's gets the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown All her empire's are falling down winter's closing in And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown And summertime is falling down |

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Candy’s Room http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oTFJhhWW8g&feature=related In candy’s room there are pictures of her heroes on the wall But to get to candy’s room you gotta walk the darkness of candy’s hall Strangers from the city call my baby’s number and they bring her toys When I come knocking she smiles pretty she knows I wanna be candy’s boy There’s a sadness hidden in that pretty face A sadness all her own from which no man can keep candy safe We kiss my heart’s pumpin’ to my brain The blood rushes in my veins fire rushes towards the sky We go driving driving deep into the night I go driving deep into the light in candy’s eyes She says baby if you wanna be wild you got a lot to learn, close your eyes Let them melt let them fire let them burn `cause in the darkness there’ll be hidden worlds that shine When I hold candy close she makes these hidden worlds mine She has fancy clothes and diamond rings She has men who’ll give her anything she wants but they don’t see That what she wants is me, oh and I want her so I’ll never let her go no no no She knows that I’d give all that I got to live All that I want all that I live to make candy mine Tonight my super heroes on the wall USMC fighting in Afghanistan < " but where is his helmet??? " > |
