  • Have a GREAT weekend folks!!!

    Remember to fly the flag and say a special prayer for those who made the ultimate sacrifice defending this country as well as those who lost a loved one. I'd also like to offer up a prayer request for the men and women who put their lives on the line every day here at home. the Police, Fire and Rescue workers are often over looked on Memorial Day but they deserve our prayers just as much.

    May God bless all of our men and women in uniform, be it a military or public service one.

            From "Home At Last" a poem by Tony Church


            He's home at last, a mother's son, a fine young man, his duty done,
            Yet not for him the fond embrace, a loving kiss, a smiling face
            Or cries of joy to laugh and cheer the safe return of one so dear,
            It is his lot to show the world a soldiers fate as flags unfurl
            And Standards lower in salutation, symbols of a grateful nation.

            Sombre now, the drum beats low, as he is carried, gentle, so
            As if not to disturb his rest, by comrades, three and three abreast
            Who now, as quiet orders sound, they, one by one then move around
            To place him in the carriage decked with flowers in calm and hushed respect,
            Preparing for the sad, slow ride through silent crowds who wait outside.


            So the warrior now returns to native soil and rightly earns
            The great respect to one so young, though sadness stills the waiting throng,
            While flowers strew the path he takes, as the carriage slowly makes
            A final turning to allow the veterans standing there to show
            The soldiers pride, a silent, mute, proud and respectful last salute

            Yet, while onlookers stand and see the simple, moving ceremony,
            There is a home, a place somewhere, where sits a waiting, vacant chair,
            And one great yawning empty space in someone's heart, no last embrace
            To bid a final, fond farewell to one who will forever dwell
            In love and cherished memory, a Husband, Son,... eternally.
