Hold True

Be not full of hate and violence of heart.
Be not vengeance or set yourself apart
Look to your strength, have honor, hold true.
Look to the future and always be you.

A better thought.

A better thought I've never had.
A better truth I've never known.
Doesn't matter what's in the world,
Just what you have at home.

Amen.

Pearl Harbor Memories

The faces of the young men
are hidden in the old
The roar and whistle of dropping death
The sunken ships a watery grave
Peace is only for the dead
The living still man the boats
No time! No time! To arms! To arms!
The moment frozen, without defense
They walk amongst a skeleton crew
and lower the flag to remember
