James Horn Poet Couplet

For My Friend Terry

For My Friend Terry



I must count all of the many ways

Even if in a daze or horrendous haze

And instead of running off in a rage

With my energy God I must engage.




No one does like to lonely die

Have to wipe their tears all dry

God for me whose life He planned

It is Him who always will understand.

Mary Rotman August 24, 2015 at 9:58 PM I am always so grateful for our veterans, and i'm willing to bet you were in a war where you were spit upon. Not everyone felt that way! James Horn August 25, 2015 at 6:17 AM Fortunately I never went overseas. I went to college under GI Bill and Graduated from Wichita State. I served as a unit administrator for 25 years in charge of personnel administration and attendee five member's funerals. I learned a lot. My father was killed in the Med on Aircraft Carrier Intrepid. Learned a lot from that also.
