"I would rather be ashes than dust!

I would rather that my spark should burn out
in a brilliant blaze
than it should be stifled by dry rot.

I would rather be a superb meteor,
every atom of me in magnificent glow,
than a sleepy and permanent planet.

The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.

I shall use my time." drinker flowerforyou drinker

"Old Glory"


We have troops in the Middle East.
Everyday must fight the beast.
They touch the pictures in there pockets.
As they listen in the distance at the rockets.

They hold in there hand a shell.
That reminds them they are in hell.
This desert they do roam.
At night they dream of home.

They watch each day as there friends die.
All they can do is sit down and cry.
They try there very best.
To get some rest.

Times it seems they’re making little progress.
They know they will not settle for less.
There next move they must plot.
Keep all safe, and get no one shot.

They have taken on this task.
All they ever ask.
Is they are paying a debt.
That we should never forget.

They are not doing this for a story.
Instead it is for Old Glory.
They pray to God above.
For this country they love.

Remember when they come home.
They are awesome.
Never make them feel unwelcome.
Instead give them a Hero’s welcome.

They do this for you and me.
So we can live and be.
They love this country it is true.
They do it for the Red, White & Blue.

"Till it shines"

Words and music by Bob Seger

Take away my inhibitions
Take away my solitude
Fire me up with your resistance
Put me in the mood
Storm the walls around this prison
Leave the inmates
Free the guards
Deal me up another future
From some brand new deck of cards
Take the chip off of my shoulder
Smooth out all the lines
Take me out among the rustling pines
Till it shines

Like an echo down a canyon
Never coming back as clear
Lately I just judge the distance
Not the words I hear
Ive been too long on these islands
Ive been far too long alone
Ive been too long without summer
In this winter home
Still if we can make the effort
If we take the time
Maybe we can leave this much behind
Till it shines

See the rich man lost and lonely
Watch him as he dines
Sitting there just testing all the wines
Till it shines"

Good Morning, Babe... I love you very much...:heart:
I wish you were here, close enough to touch...smooched

I woke up to a gentle quiet over the land.
Colorful Trees & flowers, not harsh desert sand.
I slept peacefully, really quite well...
I can only imagine your life now, a living hell...

I can't thank you enough for your eternally generous gift...
Our endless prayers & heartfelt love we skyward lift...
Thanks for protecting & preserving our freedom everyday...
the risks and hardships you endure without complaint...
keeping us from the relentless enemy's restraint...
You don't boast, but you are so capable nonetheless
Thank you for your devotion, ability & willingness...

:heart: flowerforyou :heart: The Elusive Butterfly:heart: flowerforyou :heart:


You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin'
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin'

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

[Instrumental Interlude]

Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Thanks for your service to our country. All of you soldiers are responsible for the freedoms that we enjoy here AND in Canada. The USA is the finest country in the world and I would not trade it for anything else on this planet. Stay hydrated buddy. The heat sneeks up on you in the dessert.
