Thief From the East

We
We're
Born to live 
Born to die
But not like this
So unexpectedly so
We were young
We were old
We were full 
Of life
We were in 
Love in love 
With all
They stole our 
Hearts
But not our souls
Nor our spirits
We will live On 
For all eternity
To see
They came by way 
On magic carpets
Riding wayward winds
From the middle east
With ideology beliefs
Concepts not understood 
They did
Handshakes and smiles
Creeping like snakes
In the grass
Bombs between 
Their legs
They tried to break
And shake us
Killing countless
People 
For what 
They don't understand 
Our beliefs our ways 
Perhaps they just don't
Give a damn
But you see
We have Faith
Faith in our Lord
Faith in our fellow 
man
So we will continue
To strive for this thing
We call freedom
A passion for survival
Of freedom for one
Freedom for
All..

Jan Allison Date: 2/24/2015 10:32:00 AM Powerful words my friend:-) 'they stole our hearts not our souls' - 'So we will continue To strive for this thing We call freedom A passion for survival Of freedom for one Freedom for All'.. I can relate to this so much with my father when his homeland of Lithuania was invaded and he was forced to leave :-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/24/2015 12:03:00 PM My dad's ashes are to be sent to Lithuania - his name is already on the family plot as is my mum's and sisters. He truly will be back 'home'. Dad was able to travel back to Lithuania about 7 times when Independence was regained. Hugs Jan xx Tonytocaa Camacho Date: 2/24/2015 11:40:00 AM A lot of us have left other countries to to make this our home For different reasons,or to settle in other countries..it's very sad sometimes we can't even go back..we take our blood and souls and try to make it in another country..and make it our own but we will never forget what Our forefathers did and their struggles..thanks again jan
