As I walk around the base and pass people from many countries, lives, ages, and different walks of life, Ive noticed something about their eyes.... so wrote a poem to reflect how I see and feel.

Eyes of Courage, Eyes of
sadness, Eyes of fear, Eyes of
rejection, Eyes of loss, Eyes of
distrust, Eyes of hate, Eyes of
pain, Eyes of all types to be seen here,
Yet missing the Eyes of Innocence
Eyes of hope and Joy
Eyes of true heart felt laughter
Eyes of Love that reflect in the eyes of my children at home.

ReplyDeleteIts Christmas Eve, and I lay on my bunk trying to sleep, I find it difficult. Not because of sadness, for I feel peace knowing Im where I need to be. I just am thinking. As I awake early Christmas morning. It wont be to the laughter and whispers of children, but to the sound of freedom in roar of jet engines, and machines of war. With purpose to ensure the safety of my brother and sisters in arms. So next years Christmas they will be home with loved ones. Thank you all, for your love and support. Merry Christmas, and may you feel peace and know eventually all will be well.
