Three Words

You ask me, how do I know?
And I wonder, how do I explain
that feeling that poets have
endlessly tried to capture

How do I tell you
That your touch centers me
bringing me a peace
I’ve never known

How do I tell you
that your smile
is the sun that warms me
from the inside out

How do I tell you
that your eyes
say more than words
could ever tell me

How do I tell you
that your laughter
is the light that
guides me though the dark

How do I tell you
that your mere presence
makes me feel safer than any walls
around my heart ever could

How do I tell you
that I’ve never been
as confident in myself
as I am with you

How do I tell you
that when I’m with you
being me is the
easiest thing in the world

How do I tell you
that three little words
say all that I feel for you
yet will never say enough

They Stand On a Wall

Zero Dark Thirty came out today in Redbox, and I reserved it right away. I know there is a lot of controversy over this movie, but I loved it. And if I ever find myself in the company of a CIA analyst, or a member of Seal Team 6, drinks are on me.

I grew up in the post Vietnam era, knowing that our service men & women weren’t always appreciated for doing their jobs. I have family in the service, I volunteer to help out reservists, and live in a military town. So I just want to say thank you to all those who serve our country. Those in the formal military, those who work for those “3 letter” government organizations, and those who have served in the past. I don’t think it can be said enough, and you will probably see it again in this blog.

To paraphrase another Hollywood movie, with one of my favorite lines “I like them because they stand on a wall. And they say nothing’s going to happen to you tonight, not on my watch.”

Blessed be
