THE HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US AND THERE IS A NIP IN THE AIR
THE DAYS ARE GETTING SHORTER AND ALL THE TREES ARE BARE
SOME OF OUR LOVED ONES ARE NO LONGER WITH US
MAY THEY ALL REST IN PEACE
I AM SURE WE ALL MISS THEM DEARLY AND
SHED A FEW TEARS TO SAY THE LEAST
I KNOW THESE TIMES ARE TRYING AND WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
TO WANT TO GIVE IN
BUT DO NOT GIVE IN TO TEMPTATION
DO NOT LET THE DEMONS WIN
THIS YEAR FOR A WHILE LETS BE HAPPY
WITH A SONG IN OUR HEART
AND CELEBRATE WITH GLADNESS EVEN THOUGH
WE ARE APART
LETS SAY A PRAYER OF THANKS
FOR ALL THE TIME WE DID GET TO SHARE
AND LOOK UP TO THE HEAVENS
KNOWING THEY ARE THERE
OUR LOVED ONES MAY NOT BE WITH US
BUT IN OUR HEARTS THEY WILL ALWAYS LIVE
WE WILL THINK OF THEM OFTEN AND REJOICE
IN ALL THEY HAD TO GIVE
OUR SORROWS MAY BE PLENTY
THINKING OF DAYS GONE BY
WONDERING HOW MUCH THINGS
CAN CHANGE IN JUST A BLINK OF AN EYE
BUT AT TIMES THE SORROW GIVES WAY
AND IT HURTS JUST A LITTLE LESS
AND OUR TEARS STOP FLOWING
GIVING US JUST A BIT OF HAPPINESS
FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT WITH US
WE HOLD YOU ALL IMPRINTED IN OUR BRAIN
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL
UNTIL WE ALL MEET AGAIN……………..JM

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
WHEN HE LAY DOWN IN OUR FOX HOLE
NO BLANKET NO WARM COAT
AND FOR A PILLOW HE HAD JUST HIS ARMS I AM TOLD
HE HAD PLACED AN OLD WORN SOCK
ON HIS MAKESHIFT ABODE
HOPING THAT SANTA WOULD HELP
THE TROOPS STILL ON THE ROAD
THE SOLDIERS WERE NESTLED
IN THE SAME MAKESHIFT BEDS
WHILE VISIONS OF GOING HOME
DANCED IN THEIR HEADS
THE SARGENT HAD HIS FATIGUES
BUT I HAD LOST MY CAP
HAD A LONG NIGHT AHEAD OF US
NO TIME FOR US TO NAP
WHEN OUT IN THE DISTANCE
THERE AROSE QUITE A SOUND
THATS WHEN WE ALL HEARD THE SARGE YELL
EVERYONE HIT THE GROUND
AND WHAT DID OUR WEARY
EYES GET TO SEE
BUT YET ANOTHER BOMB
JUST TONIGHT THAT MAKES THREE
WE ALL THANK OUR LUCKY STARS
THIS ONE HIT IN THE DISTANCE
BUT FRIENDS BEFORE US
WEREN'T SO LUCKY
TAKE JIMMY FOR INSTANCE
HE WAS HERE ONE DAY
AND THE NEXT HE WAS NOT
SOME SAY HE WENT HOME
SOME CLAIM THEY NEVER FORGOT
HOW A YOUNG SOLDIER
WENT TO FIGHT FOR OUR NAME
AND SUDDENLY VANISHED
AND LEFT US NOT QUITE THE SAME
I WANT TO GO HOME ALSO
BUT NOT IN THAT WAY
IN A PINE BOX JIMMY WENT HOME
OR SO THEY SAY
TO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE
READING THIS POEM
DO NOT SHED TOO MANY TEARS
CAUSE I DID MAKE IT HOME
BUT NOT WITHOUT MEMORIES
AND NOT WITHOUT PAIN
NOT WITHOUT TREMORS
OF THE BODIES WE HAD LAIN
NOT WITHOUT SORROW AND
NOT WITHOUT REGRET
AND NOT WITHOUT SCARS
OF WOUNDS I WILL NEVER FORGET
SO YOU SEE IN MY EYES
JIMMY WAS THE LUCKY ONE THAT NIGHT
HE WENT HOME A HERO
AND WE HAD TO STAY ON TO FIGHT
SO I SAY UNTO ALL MY
BUDDIES THAT FOUGHT AT MY SIDE
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL
IT WAS A HELL OF A RIDE...........................JM

CHAINS THAT BIND

I AM NOT WORTHY
PLEASE BREAKTHESE
CHAINS THAT BIND
I CANNOT GO ON
I CANNOT FEEL
I CANNOT CRY
I CANNOT LOVE
I CANNOT LIVE
OH WONT SOMEONE BREAK
THESE CHAINS THAT BIND................JML

Did you close the room

some people are like a present...they may be all pretty with ribbons and bows but the real gift is what lies within.................

Time does not stand still. No it nibbles away the minutes until before you know it a day has gone by . Time is relentless turning those days into months. You look back with a heavy sigh and realize another year has slipped away . When we are young we have this silly fantasy that we have more time than we know what to do with. We believe that quite possibly that sixty is old. Before we know it our twenties roll bye and we start a family and are way too busy to give time a second glance. Then come our thirties with the school functions and family picnics. Once again we let time slip away. In our forties we try to be twenty again and all that did was waste more of our precious time . We make decisions along the way that make sense to us then but in reality it just wastes more valuable time. It seems like in the blink of an eye all this time passes and we wonder where it went . Half of our lives are behind us. Where did it go ? Time is clever. It sneaks up gradually and BAM we are sixty. Wait what? We try buying time, praying for more time and living on borrowed time. In all actuality from the time of our conception we only have a limited amount. The time is now hug a little longer , say i love you more often and count your blessings before your time runs out………….JM

SHE WELCOMED EACH DAY WITH PASSION.........SHE TOOK EACH BREATH WITH CONVICTION......SHE LOVED LIKE A POET....SHE GAVE TIL SHE HAD NO MORE......BUT SOMETIMES SHE CRIED.......YES AT TIMES SHE CRIES.......JM

AT TIMES WE TRY TO HIDE
HOW WE FEEL WAY DOWN DEEP INSIDE
AT TIMES WE SMILE WHEN WE FEEL
LIKE CRYING
WHILE THE WORLD AROUND US
KEEPS ON DYING
AT TIMES WE ALL TEND TO STRAY
AND DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO GO
FROM DAY TO DAY
AT TIMES WE ARE AFRAID AND
REFUSE TO HAVE SIGHT
OF THIS WORLD THE WAY IT IS
WITH ALL ITS PLIGHT
THERE REALLY IS SUFFERING AND
THERE REALLY IS PAIN
WHERE EVEN LITTLE CHILDREN
ARE BEING SLAIN
IF YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
IF YOU CAN CHANGE JUST
ONE LITTLE THING
THEN LIFT UP YOUR VOICE
AND LET THE NOTES RING
OPEN YOUR HEART AND
RAISE UP THE NOISE
MOST PEOPLE DO NOT
HAVE THAT CHOICE
TO CHOOSE HOW THEIR
LIFE IS GOING TO GO
TO CHOOSE IF THE
ANSWER IS YES OR NO
SO SING OUT NOW
AND SING OUT LOUD
SING OUT AND
MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD PROUD
AT TIMES WE ARE SILENT
WHEN WE SHOULD SHOUT
AND DO NOT QUESTION
THE THINGS WE
SHOULD DOUBT
AT TIMES WE HIDE WHEN WE
SHOULD STAND OUT IN A CROUD
AND WE WHISPER WHEN WE
SHOULD BE TALKING LOUD
AT TIMES WE ARE GUILTY OF
TURNING OUR HEAD
AND CLOSING OUR BLINDS
AND PRETENDIDN WE ARE
IN BED
AT TIMES WE WALK WHEN WE
SHOULD REALLY RUN
AND WE END THE GAME
WHEN IT ONLY HAS JUST BEGUN
AND AT TIMES WE ARE ALL SELFISH
WHEN WE REALLY SHOULD GIVE
AND WE ARE HEARTLESS WHEN
WE SHOULD BE SENSITIVE
SO OPEN YOUR HEART PEOPLE
RAISE UP YOUR VOICE
CAUSE MOST PEOPLE DO NOT
HAVE A CHOICE
TO CHOOSE HOW THEIR LIFE
IS GOING TO GO
TO CHOOSE IF THE ANSWER
IS YES OR NO
SO SING OUT NOW
AND SING OUT LOUD
SING OUT AND MAKE
THE WHOLE WORLD PROUD.....................
