They Did Their Share

On Veteran’s Day we honor
Soldiers who protect our nation.
For their service as our warriors,
They deserve our admiration.Some of them were drafted;
Did you know?Explore Trending and Topic pages for more stories like this.
Some were volunteers;
For some it was just yesterday;
For some it’s been many years;In the jungle or the desert,
On land or on the sea,
They did whatever was assigned
To produce a victory.Some came back; some didn’t.
They defended us everywhere.
Some saw combat; some rode a desk;
All of them did their share.No matter what the duty,
For low pay and little glory,
These soldiers gave up normal lives,
For duties mundane and gory.Let every veteran be honored;
Don’t let politics get in the way.
Without them, freedom would have died;
What they did, we can’t repay.We owe so much to them,
Who kept us safe from terror,
So when we see a uniform,
Let’s say "thank you" to every wearer.

Walking in the shadow of fear,

drowning endlessly by a single tear,

running along

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart

It's that one special day created with you,

When wishes rain in for the year coming new.<

What Do I See In You

What do I see in you? Oh boy. Oh boy,

I see mountains and rivers a lifetime of joy,

Pay Attention To Me

Buzz, buzz in your ear,

A bumblebee follows you everywhere.

I am that bee, can't

kya pata hai tumhen

Kya pta hai tujhe?

ki mere jajbaato ka alfaaj tu hai,

mere hontho par bikhari mus

QUEST
From where does the power come
That turns a soft cool breeze
Into a raging storm?

How d

And then I realized

that to be

more alive

I had to
