Holiday Gladness
A poem for the holidays
I love to hear the chime in my ear that tells me we have reached the most wonderful time of the year.
The air gets cooler and the night comes quick. Snowfall arrives and makes the children have fun quick.
Turn your frown into a smile. There’s always a reason to change when we approach the seasonal change.
Once the fall rolls in we finally made it to winter and now the holiday season can enter.
Hoodies and jackets, beanies and gloves. Hot chocolate, Fall festivals and meetings of love.
Families come and sit together for the big holiday get togethers it all fits together.
We all exchange gifts but the greatest gift we have is that we see each other. Thankfully reminded of how much we need each other.
How could one not love the end of the year when it’s a sign that a great new beginning is near.
Presents and gifts, oh what a heavenly gift. The rush of joy that it brings will forever be swift.
In a world full of madness joined by sadness. I’ll forever appreciate this holiday gladness.

Doing it for the troops
The others dropped like flies around me. We fought and struggled to get to this point. I'm the only one left now. The objective is right there. A mere two hundred feet away. The last of my team got a bullet to the head right next to me, but I couldn't do anything. I was able to locate and neutralise the sniper as he shot my friend, so his death was at least not in vain.
