MY PRAYER

Once again the sun rises in the eastern horizon; how beautiful to watch another day being born. It is amazing how procarious the world travels as for me Lord, give me reasons to go on. A desparate measure or call for help? I simply do not care anymore. Today I wish my life would end it's burdends... Sign in to see full entry.

It's midnight and here I am in this hole, yet not alone sharing it with mosquitoes, sandflies, fleas, and other predators of the night. It's midnight yet is so hot the sun beat my skin throughout the day; I wish I had a cool drink and the heat to ease a while. I've place my helmet on the floor while... Sign in to see full entry.

Good-bye mother good-bye I am a soldier! Your son had to fight. Whether it was my decision or not, I cannot say just that I joined the army in a autumn night.

Today

Today, a day like no other blissful, happy, and unique dressed in false smiles overwhelmed by uncertainty. The sun rosed in the east spreading its arms through the horizon; do we deserve it?

BITTER APRIL

A day in the midst of April where I thought I'd never make it home; I could hear my heart beat as I dodged the desert floor.

My Wife

My wife, if you only knew how happy you make me feel. When you hold me and you kiss me. I know I never told you but you are the world to me. Everything is meaningless in your absense nothing makes sense, nothing! You my wife and best friend, How can I tell you how happy I am? How my life changes by... Sign in to see full entry.

WAR

What if things had turned out a different way if that day in the sandstorm I had been in a different place or things had gone worst. What if it had been me instead and my wife had gotten that ill phone call; the soldier in dress uniform and the chaplain had gone to knock at her door. Would she cry... Sign in to see full entry.

BLASPHEMY..

am fighting a battle which I won't win the seeking answers from the unknown, My faith is weaken if there is any left- I' ve asked for help and I am still alone.
