Or he thought it was Friday
Just like me...But for me there's no Friday this week

A couple of great poems I stumbled upon today...
Footprints
- by Margaret Fishback Powers
One night a man
had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along
the beach with the Lord. Across
the sky flashed scenes from his
life. For each scene, he noticed
two sets of footprints in the
sand; one belonging to him, and
the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed
before him, he looked back at the
footprints in the sand. He noticed that
many times along the path of his life
theere was only one set of footprints. He
also noticed that it happened at te very
lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he
questioned the Lord about it. "Lord,
you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life, there is
only one set of footprints. I don't
understand why, when I needed you
most, you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious,
precious child, I love you and I would
never leave you. During your times of
trial and suffering, when you saw only
one set of footprints, it was then that I
carried you."

The Soldier's Cemetery
- Anonymous, 1830
Where the gaunt Rock o'er ocean throws
A strange supernatural shade,
Hard by its base in deep repose
Are laurell'd legions laid;
Cold is each heart and busy head;
O'er them no death-bell rings;
Few sculptures mark each low, lone bed;
The brave ask nobler things!
And seas, which raving lash the shore;
Gales round the rock which sweep;
Cannon from cloudy clefts, whose roar
Astounds the thund'ring deep-
Wail them with knell and minstrelsy
Sublime; their deeds declare;
Honour their last home awfully; -
Oh! Would that I slept there!
