Goodness is the only investment that never fails.
Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

This poem embarks on an emotional journey, and I hope that my words have been respectful to all. For some readers, these verses may bring back painful memories. For others, a greater awareness of war’s images may come about.
Forceful, overnight tears
Halting rhythm to dreams
Shrouded in darkness
Dreading war’s extremes
Night’s stillness collapsing
Watching another scene
Filled with emotion
Fighting war . . . obscene!
Memories burst apart
Reliving fateful night
Cherished love taken
Losing precious knight
Distant battle breathes
Recalling sacrifice
Honored for courage
Paying supreme price
Sorrows of rain salute
Weeping nation holds fast
Gathered now as one
Clutching future’s past

Each of us has some area of pain and suffering in life. The world around us would have us run from that burden–to resent it, hate it. Instead, we should embrace it.
From Matthew 10;38-39: “And whoever does not take up the cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for My sake will find it.”
