I wrote a poem
If you have read my blog you know that I am going through some tough times. I have been getting very little sleep the last few months so I spend my time coming up with new ways to muse myself. I decided to write a poem... I have not written any thing like this in about ten years, and the lack of sleep, and its 4:00am, and I need to change my under britches, and I left the coffee pot on back in the states, might explain why it seems rushed. It is just a ruff draft let me know what you think.
Don’t Worry About Me
I look at my two daughters, I tell them that I must go
I try to explain why, as there eyes lose there glow
Why must you go away, they always ask of me
Because daddy is a soldier, I fight so we can be free
But I don’t want to be free, I want you to stay home
Let some body else do it, I don’t want to be alone
I try to ease their worries, I try to ease there pain
I must leave them any way, though my heart it will remain
I will always be with you, I will always be in your heart
And you can always know, that we will never be apart
I tuck them in to bed one last time, for each of them a kiss
Remember daddy loves you, and you I will always miss
My nation calls for me, I’ll leave my family behind
I know that some must do it, this I do not mind
Remember what I give up for you, so that we may be free
Remember what I left, what I don’t have here with me
I ask you pray for my little ones, they do not understand
They don’t quit grasp it, why I fight for this land
I am a soldier, don’t worry about me
I do this, so you don’t have to live in fear or worry
Don’t Worry About Me

Surfing the web for info and services on "Screenplay Analysis". Not sure why I ended up here. Not what I was searching for, but interesting stuff nonetheless! We are such interesting creatures, us humans. I'm a professional screenwriter, script consultant, and author...so I'm always looking for good writing, interesting people, and new ideas. Anyway...blog on!
People in uniform live by the warrior's code - Rule #1 is the first duty of the strong is to protect the weak.
I will keep you - and your precious girls - in my thoughts and prayers (as I have for some time now)
:)
Oh - and if you want to get rid of those spammers, go to your dashboard, click on your blog, then settings, then comments. there's an option to turn word verification on, and if you do that, you won't get these strangers spamming ads like that derek rydall guy.
very heartfelt hon. you are in my constant thoughts and prayers... You know what Im thinking...*hugs*
