"Soldier's Prayer"
The soldier dies and sends a letter from Heaven.
Out of My Book: Love and Tears
A soldier writes a letter home
Just a simple prayer
Says, “I’m standing here all alone
Wishing you could hear
Love’s the hardest part
Of not being able to hold you
The pain runs through my heart
The way it’s suppose to
(chorus)
I gotta go now
See you when it’s through
We’ll be together somehow
Can’t wait to hold you
Bullets pierced my heart
But that’s not what’s hurting me
Heaven and Earth are worlds apart
Where the bullets use to be
I didn’t know I died
Till you cried too
I prayed to God and cried
For this letter to reach you”
An angel delivers a letter
In the winds from above
She saw him standing there
With Heaven’s love
Tears ran down her cheek
As she read his every word
An Angel she did meet
Her soldier’s prayer was heard.
This song was written because of the war in Iraq. I also wrote this while teaching poetry while as a substitute teacher.

Lifting the Curtain to a Successful Month
April has been a fantastic month for me in terms of writing endeavors. I’d like to share what’s been so great about it just as many other writers would do. Share successes. I’ve noticed other writers or artists have shared successes and when you just see the snippet of their success, it appears everything has been going right for them all along. But we haven’t seen behind the curtain, we haven’t seen their hard work and their failures and those months that were fraught with disappointment. In everyone’s case, it’s far from the truth. But for the outside observer it isn’t always apparent.
