In honor of thanksgiving I am making a list of things that I am thankful for in no practicular order, just how they pop out of my brain. Um... My family my friends good food my school (even if it is annoying at times) art of all kinds kind people the planet and it's beauty anything that makes me smile good books my sharpie markers (I LOVE THEM!) holidays church the rain uniqueness my country and the fact that I get to live in it firemen, policemen, soldiers, etc. and well... all the good things, and even some of the bad things I get for good reasons _____________________________ Since veteran's day I have been thinkin alot about veterans and the courage and such they show. These lyrics and this poem are posted especially for my grandfather who was a veteran and any other veterans, I think of my grandfather with the poem and veterans in general with the song. Thanks all lots of love <3 Eight Of November- Big and Rich He said goodbye to his momma As he left South Dakota To fight for the Red, White, and Blue He was 19 in green with a new M-16 Just doin' what he had to do. He was dropped in the jungle Where the choppers would rumble With the smell of napalm in the air Then the sargeant said, "Look up ahead" And like a dark, evil cloud 1,200 came down on him and 29 more They fought for their lives But most of them died In the 173rd Airborne (Chorus) On the 8th of November, The angels were cryin' As they carried his brothers away With the fire rainin' down And the Hell all around There were few men left standin' that day Saw the eagle fly, Through a clear, blue sky 1965, the 8th of November Now hes 58 And his ponytails grey But the battle still plays in his head He limps when he walks, But hes strong when he talks About the shrapnel they left in leg He puts on a grey suit Over his airborne tattoo He ties it on one time a year And remembers the fallen, As he orders a tall one And swallows it down with his tears (Chorus) On the 8th of November, The angels were cryin' As they carried his brothers away With the fire rainin' down And the Hell all around There were few men left standin' that day Saw the eagle fly, Through a clear, blue sky 1965, the 8th of November Saw the eagle fly, Through a clear, blue sky 1965 (Chorus) On the 8th of November, The angels were cryin' As they carried his brothers away With the fire rainin' down And the Hell all around There were few men left standin' that day (Chorus) On the 8th of November, The angels were cryin' As they carried his brothers away With the fire rainin' down And the Hell all around There were few men left standin' that day Saw the eagle fly, Through a clear, blue sky 1965, the 8th of November The 8th of November The 8th of November He said goodbye to his momma As he left South Dakota To fight for the Red, White, and Blue He was 19 in green with a new M-16 Just doin' what he had to do. Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. |
