The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.

I WILL NEVER FORGET



Today I saw an eagle,

With a teardrop in his eye.

It literally took by breath away

To see an eagle cry.

I asked him, What's the matter?

And he told me what he saw.

A cowardly attack was made,

On the towers that once stood tall.

He said everything he stood for,

Had taken a shocking blow.

So he had to take a moment,

To let his own emotions show.

Then he proudly told me,

That our Nation would survive.

That our Liberty and Freedom,

He'd be sure to keep alive.

He said for us not to be afraid,

To stand together, not apart.

For a terrorist has succeeded,

If he puts fear within our hearts.
