[hometext] => Veteran's Day....Over 2,000 young men and woman killed, Pray Tell Dear God For What?
[bodytext] =>  PRAY TELL DEAR GOD FOR WHAT? Youth so vital, energetic, venerable, fall to monstrous angry guns. But For What? For What? Pray Tell Dear God Above For What? Why must man love his wars? our youth so doomed...... Youth groomed, just starting their lives......entombed. But For What? For What? Pray tell Dear God Above For What? A mother gives birth, first glance, instant and endearing, A son so special, two hearts bonding....... Hers bleeding, buried his endless yearning...... But For What? For What? Pray tell Dear God Above For What? A father loses his son, stays brave with admiration, Reality not accepted, his feelings deaden But For What? For What" Pray Tell Dear God Above For what? Years of worry, years of dreams nourishing........ Sacrifices, hard work, coated with care and loving....... But For What? For what? Pray Tell Dear God For What? Giving their lives freely, without question..... Ages pass, honorably buried, names forgotten, But For What? For What? Pray Tell Dear God For What? Created by Lovingcritters ConSue November 11. 2005 Veterans Day "We make war that we may live in peace." Author: Aristides ("The Just") "Precious lives lost - --Dear God-- What a Waste --Dear God-- For What?" Words to the Taps The song played at their funerals. (Note: there are no "official" words to Taps below are the most popular.) Day is done, gone the sun, From the hills, from the lake, From the skies. All is well, safely rest, God is nigh. Go to sleep, peaceful sleep, May the soldier or sailor, God keep. On the land or the deep, Safe in sleep. Love, good night, Must thou go, When the day, And the night Need thee so? All is well. Speedeth all To their rest. Fades the light; And afar Goeth day, And the stars Shineth bright, Fare thee well; Day has gone, Night is on. Thanks and praise, For our days, 'Neath the sun, Neath the stars, 'Neath the sky, As we go, This we know, God is nigh. For What? Pray Tell Dear God For What?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
