Darkfairy RLM2 Nakedvamp's blog: "poems from Proud American"

I Pledge my life,
Like my Brothers before me
To fight the fires to the best
of my ability.

Through my training
and what I have learned
I'll use common sense
not to get burned.

I'll always be alert
To hear the weakest shout,
I'll work quickly and efficiently
To put the fires out.

Through smoke and flame
I'll give my all,
Like my brothers before me
who did fall.

And if something should go wrong,
And Death should make his call
I'll neither take nor place no blame,
For I know I gave my all.

Dear Santa,

  Don't worry about me,

  You don't have to come here,

  you see we won't be having

  a Christmas this year.

  If you're wondering why

  we're doing this,

  Let me tell you when it begun

  it was Sept. 11 , 2001.

  Something terrible happened that day,

  and we still don't know why ,

  but when it was all over

  there wasn't one person

  in America who did not cry.

  When you're delivering presents

  around the world and you see

  my Mom/Dad in Iraq,

  let them know we'll be skipping

 Christmas this year, were saving it

 for when they come back. 

 So take my presents Santa,

 and give them to the soldiers

 who can't be here,

 tell them " Thank you " from me

 and " Merry Christmas and Happy New Year"

I'm afraid to love again

and I'll tell you why,

everyone I ever fell for,

soon would make me cry.

With Broken Promises

and Shattered Dreams,

you left me down and out,

Battered and Bruised

the longer I stayed

the more you abused.

Blinded by love

I was unable to see,

you never really cared about

what you were doing to me.

With Broken Promises

and Shattered Dreams,

you left me down and out,

batterd and bruised

the longer I stayed

the more you abused.

Now that you're out of my life,

I'm finally free,

and I hope there's someone

out there waiting for me.

When that day comes ,

I'll know it's for real,

but this time I'll be careful,

'cause my Heart needs time to Heal.

It seems like it were only yesterday

 When you held me in your arms,

 Free from any pain, safe from any Harm.

  When I was young you were hard on me,

   and at times a little rough,

  But now I realize you did it to make me stronger

  for the times when things get tough..

   You took my hand and walked me down the aisle,

   though you were giving me away,

  you did it with a smile.

   The lessons you taught me ,

   made me what I am today,

   filled with pride,and feeling strong,

   you showed me how to have confidence

   when I'm right, and the courage to admit

  when I am wrong.

    So I come here to say thank you

   for all your lessons, and all your love,

   and I know whenever I need your guidance,

  I need only to look to Heaven above.

(in memory of the firefighters & police officers that died on 9/11) Will someone tell me why theres a tear in Lady Liberty's Eye, Is It Sorrow?  is it pain? Or is it because so many didn't have to die in vain ? They did their job with pride, with an honor that cannot be denied, and we will forever remember that day, When so many heroes went away. Will someone tell me why there's a tear in Lady Liberty's Eye, Is it sorrow ? is it pain ? Or is it because so many didn't have to die in vain? With pride they did the job that that they do, With an honor felt by so few, And I'll never forget that day, When so many heroes went away. As we ponder the great unknown, with an honor that is always shown, We will always remember that day when so many heroes went away.

WHERE WERE YOU

  8 years ago today?

 when the world seemed

 to be in such disarray.

  Innocence would be lost,

  Liberty would seemto fade.

  But In The Face Of Danger,

  Heroes would be made.

  We came together,

  That fatefull day,

  While some of us wept,

  some of us prayed.

  Were you angry?

  Were you sad?

  Do you remember

  the feelings that you had?

  We came together,

  in a time of great sorrow,

  To show the world

  We will be even stronger tomorrow.

   Hearts were shattered,

   live's were lost,

  America came together,

  But at what cost?

  8 years later

  Have your feelings changed?

  or are you someone

  whoes priorities have been

  re arranged ?

  God Bless America,

  and everything for which she stands,

  God Bless Liberty and Freedom,

  God Bless This Great Land.

  Where were you

   8 years ago today?

 I saw my true love for the first time,

 I needn't look twice,

 off in the distance,

somewhere between Earth and Paradise.

 Put away in a memory,

 scenes from the past,

 hoping beyond hope,

 our love would forever last,

 love lost , love found,

love where love was nowhere around.

 Just give me a chance

 to show you how I feel,

 then give me one more

 to prove to you

that it'll always be for real.

 I didn't see it comin'

 But maybe I should've

 I was runnin' out of time

 And you were running out of love.

Once I loved and lost,

   I tried not to cry,

   but then I met you

   and gave love another try.

    It seems like just yesterday,

    two Hearts beating as one,

   nothing could stand in our way,

   our love had just begun.

    Though it seemed like my feelings changed,

     you were just not aware,

     My love for you never went away

     it was always there.

   They say " It is better to have loved &

   lost than to have never loved at all"

   But whoever said that, is headed for a big fall.

   So I stand before you,

   with my Heart on my sleeve,

   hoping to forgive & forget,

   'cause in our love

   I still beleive.

  I never felt this way before,

  and still I don't know why,

 I never really shed a tear,

 'til you said " Goodbye".

In the depths of darkness,

   where madness fills the air,

   my mind travels to places,

   brave men not dare.

   Protestors protesting ,

  " What are we fighting for?"

   but how could we have peace,

   if there is no war?

  Your rights are being lost

  in so many differant ways,

  you have " Freedom of Speech"

  just not today.

  It's important to teach,

  right from wrong,

  but when someone strays from that,

  why does justice take so long?

  Children today are running wild,

  because you can no longer " Spank"

  now they're out of control,

  you know whom to thank.

  Freedom of Press?

  no such luck,

  you can burn the flag,

  but can't print

 " What the f***! "

 The rich are getting richer,

 The poor are still poor,

 a Government " Of The People ,

 For The People, By The People"

 not anymore.

 Am I full of anger?

 am I full of pain?

 or am I a Genious

 going insane?
