FOOTPRINTS
EVEN THOUGH
YOU ARE
MY COMMANDER
IN CHIEF
YOU ARE NOT
MY CONSCIENCE
I MUST MEET.
GOD'S VALUES
ARE MY RULES.
I FACE
A GREATER TRUTH
WHOM
I MUST MEET.
WHAT WILL
I SAY TO HIM
I FOLLOWED
THE DAY
WHEN
I AM AT HIS FEET?
SHOULD
I RETREAT
ASK HIM
TO COMMAND ME
TO FOLLOW
HIS WORDS?
GOD IS TALKING
I HAVE ONE PATH
IT DOES NOT
FOLLOW MAN.
IT IS
MY FOOTPRINTS
I LEFT FOR YOU
IN THE SAND.
TO PRESIDENT
@OBAMA
POEATREEMAN
WHEN IN DOUBT
FOLLOW GOD'S WAY.

A Separate Peace
By John Knowles
see relatedI SUPPORT PEACE
Where hearts
come home,
Not souls
in coffins
who were
cut down
too soon
Where at home,
hearts are bled
From loves lost,
dying dreams
Wondering ,
For years,
why it was to be?
Taking count,
of pain and hurt
Each time, ,
They think,
of one another
What life I had ,
What could it,
have been?
Echoes, all through ,
The hearts,
that wept.
Did
I make it better
how?
Not
if I cannot
see
the end
What price ,
Did I pay
to see today?
What cost ,
Did I give
a heart or a soul?
What values
do I have ,
That have not
left me ?
What
do I hold on to ,
that can bring
me peace?
The hope ,
God will see
us through
Even through ,
The darkest
awakening
Hope of a nation
to serve God
not war
Of a people
to see the hearts
of others
A dream
not to kill
each other
The hope,
it was not
indifference
For bullets
ripped the flesh
Indifference
tore the soul
The wounds
they received
Was it inflicted
by them or us?
Who is serving
life or death?
Who is burying
hopes and dreams?
Who is serving
humanity the best?
The nation
WHO serves God
not man
The nation
WHO has God
in hand.
MICHELLE DETZEL
Dedicated to Linda Purvis
DESERT STORM
THE COUNTRY CALLED
MY NURSES WERE GONE
THEY TOOK THEIR HEART
WHEN TO WAR
I WAS LEFT WITHOUT
THEIR CARE.
I KNOW ALL TOO, WELL
THE WAY OF WAR.
I SERVED IN NAM
WHEN I WAS CALLED.
I WHEEL AROUND
TO SEE TODAY.
I THANK GOD
FOR EVERY DAY.
A Poeatreeman
If I reach for the plow ,
Make sure my heart is in it
If I reach for the sword ,
Make sure truth is in hand
If peace is at hand ,
why can't we take hold?
Do we serve
God or man?
God help the nation ,
who serves itself
For it serves not me ,
who serves itself.
