Soldiers Poem

Some one forwarded me an email and it makes my tears down, so I decided to share it to all friends of mine here.

A Different Christmas Poem


The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.


The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.


The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.


Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.


"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..


To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."
"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.


No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died at ' Pearl on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ' Nam ',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.


I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.


I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."


" So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and your son."


Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."

PLEASE, would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many
people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our
U.S service men and women for our being able to celebrate these
festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people
stop and think of our heroe s, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.

Rent to Own Industry Strong in Hard Economic Times

My husband asked me yesterday about what kind of Christmas present I want. I told him I want new appliances for our big house. We are planning to transfer to our own house next year and we don’t have enough things inside the house yet. When I found the rtohg.org website this evening, it gives me a brighter idea, rent to own program is great and many people do it too right now. I already heard rent to own reports a couple months ago and I talked about it to my husband and he don’t have any negative reactions about this program. It will help you a lot especially in our economic today we cannot afford to pay the whole amount for the expensive things that we wanted right away. As I read the rent to own survey all the result is good. They offer a rent to own trends for every one. So if ever you need any of the electronics, furniture, appliances and computers then try to check their website.

Holiday season is coming, its time to have rest from our busy days and enjoy the moment of Christmas to our dream place. It’s time to have a vacation with our family and love one, bring your special some one to romantic vacations which two of you will enjoy the perfect moment of your life, or try to check the jamaica all inclusive resort for your family. It is wise to search and read the information first, to know how much your going to spend and what kind of place or hotel you’re going to stay. If you try to check any link of this post, I am sure it will give you a bright idea for your vacation for this holiday. The breezes.com is also accepting weddings and honeymoons program, as I look at the wedding pictures at their website, I felt like I wish my wedding was like this, when I read the caribbean weddings I remembered what my husband suggested to me before.

God knows what you need.

I am so glad today, one of my husband's high school classmate sent money to me as a Christmas present of my family in Philippines. Is not really big amount but for me $350 is really big already. I don't have any work this time and my blogging business is so slow at this moment. I don't want to ask help to my husband because I know we have many bills to cover every month. I things God for touching peoples heart.

I got a Car Accident this afternon.

I asked to my husband if I could drive his truck going to the city to buy our groceries. The city from here is 45 minutes drive, and my husband was not really comfortable to let me drive his big car so what he did was he always assist me while driving. Anyway that was my first time to drive on the interstate, I am not really good yet, so he always direct what to do me and we always qua-riling while I am driving because he is using terms sometimes that I don't understand especially when gets panic. When we get off from the interstate and ready to ran to another way going to SAM'S, my command again to stop and see the traffic to get on the road and I immediately step on the break so it makes a little bump and car at our back she did not watch our car and was too close to us, she though we will go derictly since the trafic is a little bit smooth. Her car was wreck to our car, my heart really sank I felt so sorry to her. Her car was realy bad she cannot even go out becuase the two front door cannot open anymore, and car flued was spread on the road. Her really looks bad the front was really distroyed. People are asking if we are Ok, all curious eyes are looking at us, there are several Police men came in to investagate what happen, Fire truck came too. I am really scared and my husband said be ready for the questions. I asked to my husband whos fault is this and he said seems it's my fault but the car who hit us will be consider as the wrong one, becuase she did not watch to the car infront of her. The is girl very nice to me I was guilty she was the one who says sorry to me for several time even her car got the big damage on it.
