All is serene tonight along the banks of Antietam Creek.
'Neath the brooding moon, the battlefield looks so bleak.
Bloodied ground was hallowed on this dire September day.
On the field this night, six thousand slain heroes lay.
Six thousand valiant men stared heavenward with lifeless eyes.
Wounded brothers lay among them, emitting plaintive cries.
All about them was strewn the ravaged debris of battle,
Torn asunder by the cannons' roar and the muskets' rattle.
Strewn upon the field of strife were mementos now forlorn.
Thither and yon, Bibles lay, their pages scorched and torn.
Blowing in the breeze were photographs of those left to grieve.
Unfinished letters wafted about that families will ne'er receive.
Johnny Reb in tattered gray lay nigh Billy Yank in dusty blue.
Their mingled blood flowed as one, the sacred soil to embue.
It can ne'er be said that these men had sacrificed in vain.
Each believed in the cause for which he was cruelly slain.
Alas, other battles would rage 'til the war would cease,
When brotherhood would reign again, bringing blessed peace.
Soldiers lie awaiting Gabriel's clarion call, their duty done.
The sweet sounds of nature returned to replace the roaring gun.

This night i have had
This 7th November day
It's one of my best
I have to say
The occasion was
A birthday party
My son's girlfriend
A couple so hearty
Parents of this two
In tribute proud
On a Munro i would stand
And shout it out loud
Ann Marie, Murdo
Nicola and James
Proud parents we are
Of our sweetheart flames
To watch them grow up
Into the people they are
Bright lights in our lives
Our heavenly stars
To Leanne and Andrew
As i look back on this night
This November day
This world has done right
It has brought you together
As it has requested you be
No better couple has stood
In front of me
A few words from a proud parent to the
most wonderful couple, with all my heart

"My pen drips of sorrow and on this paper I write each tear
The opening of this wound tonight locks me in this fear,
Perhaps it’s time to tell this tale,
About a love that truly failed,
A broken promise, a kingdom's feast,
The night I met this ugly beast,
Angel eyes, and angel lies,
Love that slowly hypnotized,
A dim lit room,
Their stood my groom,
When suddenly he met his doom,
His Glass of wine,
Should have been my sign,
For surely he was not the drinking kind,
There he stood right by my bed,
Whispering words he’s never said,
The evening bright,
The moon our light,
When he began to have a fight,
With himself, indeed he did,
He sounded like an angry kid,
Oh the horror inside of me,
His words became insanity,
I tried to grab his hand and say,
"Love, please don’t speak in such a way"
But he continued on in absurd rage,
As if he were a monster trying to get out of it's cage,
Politics and economic change,
His words began to sound so strange,
Religious views and lack of order,
He even brought up his long lost daughter,
Some would say he went simply mad,
Others would argue deep down he was sad,
Whatever the reasons,
This night was our departing season,
For never in my life,
Did I see him cause so much strife,
I would never know what it would be like to be his wife,
My once sweet love, he broke the table
On his way down for the legs were not stable
His eyes grew black,
His soul, it died,
I ran to be right by his side,
And as he fell down on his knees,
He looked to me for his final plea,
There would be no marriage at dawn,
For the one I loved, I would now have to mourn,
His drink of poison finally succeeded,
I smelt the glass, he had been defeated
I didn’t even get to say goodbye,
Now I sit here and wonder, why?

My pen drips of sorrow contest
Written: 8/13/11
R hythmic waves rose bending, beating
O ut of my heart into my soul breathing once again,
M elting beneath the silk heavens hued in cherry blossoms.
A nother night to drown in your moonlight blue eyes,
N uzzle into your neck then savor your lips once again,
T angle my fingers through your silky chestnut hair.
I don't ever want this night to end
C aught in the lace work of your love.

hidden quote
As I think of another
Together for a final night
Holding you close and tight
Time passing on this night
Wanting to love with all my might
Lying in bed, your longing in sight
Hiding our secret, no need for a light
To love each other, it's been our right
Caressing your face, your love is bright
A kiss on the forehead, it's my only delight
So unexpected, gave you a little fright
Hours of the evening, it's not our fight
For our time together, it'll be our eternal delight
Wanted to love with all my final might
But time passed on that final night
Held you close with one final tight
Parted from being together on our final night
Lee's birthday 28.02.2020
Today is your birthday
There's so much I want to say
We're going to visit your special place
Hope to see your smiling face
I know you're looking down on us
Wondering what's all the fuss
We miss you Lee this is true
Looking up at the sky it's blue
Finca is the place to be
Sat with mother,brother and me
Chilling out having a laugh
Giving Adri a regimental bath
Gareth and I are working hard
This should be in a card
You are missed by everyone
Gone but never forgotten
I hope the angels are treating you nice
Not feeding you Berkshire rice
I'm hearing all about your family
So caring and kind just like thee
We visited your favourite place
Coffee and beer raised to the empty space
Then to l'Ampolla we did go
Along the beach waves did flow
Although it has been battered by a storm
All the family on good form
Tapas and beer want we did want
So we went to a local restaurant
Your birthday gave us a day off
We all enjoyed a beautiful scoff
So we're with you on this night
I'll get the round - see I'm not tight!
A true legend you're sorely missed
Tonight we will all get p×××ed
Happy birthday brother Lee
From Mum, Gareth and all the family

The world is loud, the water’s deep,
And there are promises I try to keep
On trembling knees, with fading sight,
Wrestling the silence of this night.
I’m caught between the now and not yet,
Tangled in the fears I can’t forget.
But then You breathe.
You tell my anxious heart to stay,
To not run hide, or fix, or fight,
But just to sit within the gray,
And trust You’re working in the night.
It takes a fierce, unearthly power
To hold me still in such an hour.
I am in awe of how You wait
Beside me at the broken gate.
You do not chide my heavy heart,
Or tear my fragile faith apart.
Instead, Your strength becomes my shield
A quiet force in this dark field.
So here I’ll wait, my hands undone,
Looking toward the rising sun.
For You are good and You are near,
Tending the soil of every fear.
My strength is gone but Yours is vast;
You hold my future and my past.
I will stay. I will wait.
For You have never closed the gate.
-Inspired by one of my favourite songs, Stay and Wait by Hillsong United
Within the embers of this night a memory lives on
of a time when the sun rose, lighting up my world
and all, because of you;
Summers of our past linger in my mind as winter comes anew;
I recall the fireplace talks and sweet surrenders,
of our blessed union ;
You came to me, a sweet vision of something long sought
never did I think I could ever hold someone like you ,
in fond embrace;
This reverie born in spring endures through every season
these dreams remained in the realm of grace,
so did our sacred love ;
When the dawn arises to shed light upon the room,
I am left with the reality you left me...far, far too soon

Every now and then out of nowhere you come across
you discover…you find…a story that makes you believe again…
that there is hope for humankind:
A woman…addicted to drugs with a husband who beat her
who knew she was heading for an early grave…
but who also had a baby she loved and desperately wanted to save.
Years ago her mom gave her the number of a counselor
(It was during a time she didn’t care)
but this night she dialed the number…hoping the counselor would be there.
When she heard his voice say “Hello”, she hoped and prayed he would be kind
She said, “Please, sir, can we talk…I have so much on my mind?”
She could feel his smile through the phone as he said, “Sure, that’ll be all right.”
Then she proceeded to tell him her story…and they talked all through the night.
When they finished talking…it was morning…the start of a brand new day
She felt better than she had in a long time…then she said, “Oh, by the way…
You made something difficult for me to talk about…easy, comfortable and fun
You’re pretty good at this counseling thing…if you don’t mind me asking…
how long have you been one?”
“Oh, I am not a counselor.” He said. “When your phone call disturbed my slumber…
and you started talking…immediately I knew you’d dialed the wrong number.”
“I knew you needed someone to talk too…needed someone desperately
and for whatever reason last night…Fate chose that someone to be me.”
Her life didn’t turn around right away…she had a lot of problems in her honeycomb…
but talking to a stranger that night was the first step on her path home.
She loves to think back to that night…
the night her phone call disturbed a stranger’s slumber…
the night the right path to her future…
began with a wrong number.
I wish you would live forever?
No one in this world can ever
replace your kindness you give me.
Your smile makes me laugh so free.
Tomorrow if I cry, you would hold me tight
If I were ill, you would care for me till I was right
Oh my dear mother how I love your gentleness
You give such a joy of strength and tenderness.
I dream you could stay with me for infinity
my words can never express my sincerity
you are my best friend forever this night
the heavenly stars will shine ever bright.
Oh my mother ever so remarkable
that is why my world remains durable
the angels can never take you away
I pray that you will live long ever days.
