Smiles and Chuckles

Contemplating the moment…

   Smiles and Chuckles

A breeze ruffles hair
Smiles and chuckles show the mood
Moments without care

   -gl-

Enjoy the moment but especially the peaceful ones…

Please share your thoughts…

In Eye Blinks

Contemplating the contest…

   In Eye Blinks

Weapons high they charge
In eye blinks samurai strike
Living fast and large

Anticipating watching my friend’s son battling at kendo…

The Killing Shot

Courage, sacrifice, and getting the job done…

   The Killing Shot

He shoved the bad guy
Deflecting the killing shot
Job done. As he died…

A tribute to a best friend I never met…

Heroism should be celebrated. Pass it on…

Comforting

Contemplating affection…

   Comforting

Still soft and downy
Her loyalty comforting
The pug snores softly

Our little friends and companions so precious. Tell us what yours mean to you…

Proud to Stand

Reveling in the glory of the moment…

   Proud to Stand

I have fought real men
And been proud to stand with them
Or against again

Each New Dawn

Of life, love, struggle, and friendship…

   Each New Dawn

One more great man falls
As do all

No longer famous
But was among the bravest

Knowing him we knew it to be so
And thru the years his valor would only grow

Those of us that walk around ready to fight
For loved ones, duty, and for what’s right

And those with families that knew him knew his commitment
To be the best he could for those he loved and to be decent

His world champion fame and glory days long since gone
Each new dawn

He greeted as a warrior
No matter the trial or travail he was a fighter to the core

To the end
Those that knew him proud to call him friend
