We Remember Them

Today we honor and remember those who were courageous and fearless in times of battle. Those who lost their lives in the name of freedom and liberty. They will always be remembered and not forgotten....

At the rising of the sun and at its going down
We remember them.

At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter
We remember them.

At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring
We remember them.

At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer
We remember them.

At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn
We remember them.

At the beginning of the year and when it ends
We remember them.

As long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us as
We remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength
We remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart
We remember them.

When we have joy we crave to share
We remember them.

When we have decisions that are difficult to make
We remember them.

When we have achievements that are based on theirs
We remember them.

As long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us as
We remember them.

In loving memory of SSG JPM (12-6-77-07-24-07).

Random Amusing Challenge # 23


The top card was inspired by the colors of Glenda's weekly challenge but in my mind I wanted it to turn out much differently. The challenge was to use this picture for an inspiration:

I've always want to see Cirque du Soleil, the closest I've come to it was walking by the theater in Vegas. *frowns* One day. My attempt to create a card with flying trapeze and strong men didn't turn out so well. Oh well...maybe I'll tweek it more and it'll work on something else. Since the picture also promoted Mother's day I added a Mother's day card.

Happy Mother's Day!

I love this sentiment!
A Muse has the greatest stamps with the perfect sentiments that go with everything!
My mom, my "mamang" is the bestest ever! I wish I was home to celebrate her day, to give her a big hug and a kiss and tell her that I love her and thank her for everything she's done for me and my family! I Love You, Mamang! Muah! My mom is in Hawaii so if anyone travels to the island of Oahu, please be sure to say hi to my mom!

Random Amusing Challenge # 22

Glenda's challenge this week was to use pink and green. It was completed by using A Muse's pretty papers, salt box celebration sayings and wild bouquet. I've been so behind in my blogging and creating. Finals are next week and I've been busy trying to organize my house and life. Oh well, that's life! Some thing's gotta give!
