Beyond The Flag


There must be...
beyond the flag

Though I want to stay
I cannot

For all the joys that I will miss
for all the times

Courage spoken of
carried within

I offer you my strength
to wipe away
your tears

I offer you my yesterdays
to remember

I offer you my dreams
yet to dream

For I move beyond soon
past the sky
the home of the moon

Next year and the years after
when you look up
like I once did

Look beyond the flag

Goodbye...

Robert H. Green



I never met Nathan but I did learn of his strengths and his
courage. As Nathan has taught me... I will fight until the
end and accept that even then I will win.
Thank you my 7 year old friend.



So Brave


We live to become
who we are

We cry, we laugh
and we play

Who will we really
be when we grow up?

A firefighter,
a policeman
or policewoman,
maybe an astronaut

Whatever we become
we do our best

To really understand
everything there is to
understand...
no one can

Faced with the unknown
sometimes we shutter

Faced with the unknown
sometimes we run

There is one lesson left behind
and that is...
Faced with the end...
one can be...
So Brave
