Monday Musings -55- Aaron Kilbourn
"The dead soldier's silence sings our national anthem." - Aaron Kilbourn
I first saw him on a park bench
I've seen him every day
Sitting in a shady grove
Where my children come to play
Sometimes he feeds the birds and squirrels
Or whittles little toys
Sometimes he just sits and smiles
At the laughing girls and boys
And I never paid him any mind
'Till one day just this year
I noticed that he wore a frown
And on his cheek ... a tear.
Well I asked him why he seemed so down
He looked up, began to say
I lost half my friends 60 years ago today
He told me of the terror
As he fought to reach dry land
By the time the beachhead was secure
Half his friends lay in the sand
That was just in one long day
He fought on for 4 years more
And the 60 years from then to now
Have not dimmed His sights of war
He said they have reunions
Just to keep in touch and share
And for each comrade who has gone on
They leave an empty chair
Well, His park bench has been empty now
About 6 months or so
And if I'd never took the time
Then I never would've known
That sitting on that simple bench
With bread crumbs and little toys
Was a man who gave his all
To guarantee my daily joys
So give thanks to all the men and women
Who're still here or have gone before
And made the highest sacrifice
In both Peace time and in War
Because they bought our freedom
Paid their own blood, sweat, and tears
Then endured the heartache of those empty chairs
For all these years
So please do not ignore them
Or speed by without a care
'Cause you never know
When you might pass by
A hero, unaware

Monday Musings -54- Unknown Author
"Stop talking about love. Everyone in the world says they love somebody. It means nothing. It still doesn’t mean anything. What you feel only matters to you. It’s what you do to the people you say you love, that’s what matters. It’s the only thing that counts." - Unknown

"Sufficient"

Big B took 6th place among the 4th and 5th graders in today's Spelling Bee. He lost on the word sufficient. He missed the 2nd "f". Stupid word!

8 and 14.... By Then I'll Be Sad.
Mother's Day was wonderful, I was pampered and lavished w/ kisses, hugs and a Happy Mother's Day at every turn.
8 and 14 years until both boys are 18. Does anyone really move away from home at 18 anymore? Beyond going to college I mean?
I don't actually want them to move away, even in the midst of a growing headache and mounting frustration - but it will be nice when they can get jobs.

Monday Musings -53 - Cynthia E. Varnado

"It is impossible to keep a straight face in the presence of one or more kittens." - Cynthia E. Varnado
((I have kittens on the brain today. Our Snowy had a litter of kittens 8 weeks ago and it is now time to find each their own home. I haven't mentioned their birth or growth on here, afraid to jinx something. But soon I will show their adorable little faces.))
