We sit and we type and we stare at our screens,
We can't help but wonder what all of this means.
With mouse in hand ...we roam through this maze,
On an infinite search...lost in a daze.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes
At times we'll band together to gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody, to type out our name
We want recognition, but it is always the same.

Soon friendships are formed - but - why we don't know,
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.
We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes we'll flirt,
In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.

Why is it on screen, we are so easily bold,
Telling our secrets, that have never been told.
The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell,
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.

We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
So we turn to our 'puters ...and to those we can trust.
Even though it sounds crazy...the truth still remains,
Most of my "friends" have no faces...and odd little names.

People need people and friends need friends
And we all need love for a full life depends
Not on vast riches or great acclaim,
Not on success or on worldly fame,
But just in knowing that someone cares
And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers-
For only the knowledge that we're understood
Makes everyday living feel wonderfully good,
And we rob ourselves of life's greatest need
When we "lock up our hearts" and fail to heed
The outstretched hand reaching to find
A kindred spirit whose heart and mind
Are lonely and longing to somehow share
Our joys and sorrows and to make us aware
That life's completeness and richness depends
On the things we share with our loved ones and friends.

Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

"So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination."

you wouldn't want life to be s m o o t h
its the BUMPS that make it interesting..

I may not always know what im doing but ill try to make things better - i promise ill ask for your help, i cant do this alone, but if you'll take a chance on me we can do great things together, i promise if you believe in me ill find the courage to reach for your every dream

Most of our life is a series of images. They pass us by like towns on the highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens. And we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever"

"the people who make a difference in your life aren't the ones with the most credentials, money, or awards. they're the ones that care.

There is discipline in A Soldier you can see it when he walks,

There is honor in A Soldier you hear it when he talks.

There is courage in A Soldier you can see it in his eyes,

There is loyalty in A Soldier that he will not compromise.

There is something in A Soldier that makes him stand apart,

There is strength in A Soldier that beats from his heart.

A Soldier isn't a title any man can be hired to do,

A Soldier is the soul of that man buried deep inside of you.

A Soldier's job isn't finished after an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week,

A Soldier is always A Soldier even while he sleeps.

A Soldier serves his country first and his life is left behind,

A Soldier has to sacrifice what comes first in a civilian's mind.

If you are civilian - I am saying this to you.... next time you see A Soldier remember what they do. A Soldier is the one that is brave protecting me and you.
