Kim Confer Poem
Enemy captures one of our own,
his family wondering if he will make it back home
Left in darkness cold and alone,
not a meal in sight to feed his skeleton bones
Sacrificing his life for strangers he don’t even know,
had to leave his family all alone
Fighting for our country so we can be free,
when all along he's being tortured in a place unknown
Face is cut, bruised and scarred,
from the hands of his enemies who are now in charge
Sounds in the distance of grenades and bombs,
he kneels down to pray,
“Lord help me get through another day”
Never knowing when its day or night,
left in a dark cement room with no sun light
The door opens his enemy steps in, only to beat him once again
Hiding in the corner in a fetal position,
taking another beating for the country in which he lives in
Enemy leaves the cold dark room, leaving the soldier bruised and confused
Wanting to end his life to spare anymore pain,
he thinks about his family once again
He was born an American he knows not to give up
Hearing fighter jets flying overhead
hoping his comrades are coming to spare his life
He hears footsteps in the distance, he tries to stand up,
the beatings that he has endured have left him unable to fight
Footsteps turn into gun fire, a moment of silence
The door opens, his comrades lift him up and take him into the night
From soldier to POW a second chance at life
Receives his medals and is returned to his wife
A husband, a father, an American hero

Kim Confer Poem
Thall shall not condemn the sin
In which he has lived in
Burning buildings always collapse
Like a thorn on a rose
Walking on shattered glass
Taking in your last breath
He comes to me holding his last breath
Does he feel the pain from his sin
You see a reflection in the glass
The long haired man steps in
He smells the aroma from a rose
Before he starts to collapse
The sin you hold will collapse
Sins can no longer breath
Being stoned from the smell of the rose
Enter the light and forget your sin
Let the long haired man in
Piece together the shattered glass
Save a piece of the shattered glass
There are reasons why it collapse
Accept the world in which you live in
Make this not be your last breath
Concur to all, rest your sin
Pull every thorn off the rose
Take your hand and cover the rose
Hide the cracks and shine the glass
Be ridden of your sin
Rebuild the buildings that collapse
It's getting easier to breath
Make a change in this world you live in
Remove the darkness and walk in
Fallen petals from a rose
You can now start to breath
No more fallen glass
Buildings no longer collapse
Forget the reasoning for your sin
Step in the reflection through the glass
Petals from the rose never collapse
Breath again, forgiven sin

Kim Confer Poem
Mother was sick I had to go
It would be a long drive on that road
There were miles between us
As I fought back the tears
Wondering if I would make it in time
Maybe I could nurse her back to health?
So we could spend some quality time
That was my plan
I wasn't ready to let her go
I arrived at her home, there she was
Lying in her bed, starring out the window
She turned to me and smiled
I hugged her thin frail body
Held back the tears and gave her a smile
I turned to her nurse and whispered
“How is she doing?”
The nurse looked at me and said,” The cancer has spread to her bones, it won’t be long”
It was too late, I felt like I let her down
I ran outside and fell to my knees, I began to cry
When I felt a warm hand run down my spine
I heard a soft voice whisper, “It won’t be forever”
I jumped back on my feet and looked to the sky
Two sets of footprints across a cloud

Kim Confer Poem
Father, although you are not here
I still shed many tears
Wishing you were here
To hold me tight when I am in fear
To hold my hand when I walk down the aisle
To be there to hold my first born child
On this Fathers Day I can't seem to smile
I'm missing you all the while
I know it won't be long until we meet again
Isn't that Gods plan to hold your hand again
As time goes by I wonder what went wrong
Why did God take my daddy and my best friend
He must have needed you more
He must have had a plan
I will see you again because it's never the end
