Time cannot steal the treasures you carry in your hearts, though death comes at all seasons and ages without warning, but floats unseen in the breeze.~~I believe Angels are all around us, and any heart that yearns to can reach out and touch a wing.

When you look into the sky and see a shining star,think of me and send a kiss, I'm never very far.When you see the moonlight dancing on the sea, and feel a kiss brush on your cheek, that's a kiss from me. When the sun is bright on the fields and there's flowers everwhere, if you look a little closer,you'll see me there. When the snow is falling hard and sparkling on the ground, feel the flakes on your face, and know that I am around. When you see a glistening raindrop or the grass covered in dew, don't let your heart feel heavy, just remember" I LOVE YOU.' Sending you all my love David.xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Safely Home.....I am Home in Heaven dear ones;Oh, so happy and bright ! There is perfect joy and beauty in HIS everlasting light.~~All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed. I am now at peace forever, safely Home in Heaven at last.~~Did you wonder why I so calmly trod the Valley of Shade ? Oh, but JESUS' love illuminated every dark and fearful glade.~~And HE come HIMSELF to meet me on that way so hard to tread;and with JESUS' arm to lean on, I could not have any doubt or dread.~~Then you must grieve not so sorely, for I love you dearly still; try to look beyond the Earth's shadows, pray to trust our FATHER'S will.~~There is still work waiting for you. so you must not idly stand. Do it now while life remains, you shall rest in JESUS' Land.~~When that work is all completed, HE will gently call you home; Oh, the rapture of the meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come.~~Love Dave.

It has always been the Soldier.....It is the Soldier, not the President, who gives us Democracry.---It is the Soldier, Not Congress, who takes care of us.------It is the Soldier, Not the Reporter, who has given us Freedom of the Press.----It is the Soldier, Not the Poet, who has given us the Freedom of Speech.-----It is the Soldier, not the Campus Organizer, who has given us the Freedom to Demonstrate.-----It is the Soldier, who Salutes the Flag, who serves Beneath the Flag, and whose coffin is Draped by the Flag, that allows the Protestor to Burn the Flag.----David's Uncommon Valor was a Common Virtue.....Rest in Peace Dear Friend......

American Soldier.....They ask him why he'shipping off to fight. They fail to see what's on the line, all their freedoms, all their rights.~~Comprehension is beyond their grasps that someone's got to go. And, while every breath may be his last, no fear, no doubt will he ever show.~~Because he knows that if he dies in some far off foreign land, that his valiant efforts may save lives of his countrymen, family and friends.~~And that girl's picture in his pocket, though how he longs to hold her, will forever be carried in the heart of this true American Soldier.

Empty Boots....Dog tags hang over boots laced up, a bayonet stabs the ground. Kevlar perched on a 16 butt, fellow soldiers gather around.~~Warriors in their battle gear, weapons at their side. Bow their heads as words are said, to honor one who died.~~An American Hero gave his life defending Liberty, the price he paid was gladly done, for country and family.~~Those empty boots do not support a body or soul, no more they'll run for cover or some loved one dear to hold.~~As one by one soldiers pass, this tribute to their own, thoughts fly to their families across the ocean foam.~~Now Salute, as TAPS is played, blink tears out of eyes, the ache you feel inside your heart is Freedom's Painful Price.~~101st Airborne~~Ft. Campbell Ky.

A Hero.....Standing here looking at this stone, you're someone I've never known......But, I can feel your spirit, your voice I can almost hear it......Eyes looking back at me are stoic, your expression is so heroic.....Your life your courageously gave, for the home of the brave.....America you proudly defended, and you will always be commended.....America will always be proud of you, you're the proud, the brave, and the few.....You sacrificed your life for those, who turned their back to oppose.....Freedom will always be worth, the reason you left this earth.....Heroes don't come back from war, over America their spirits soar.....Thank you Soldier for being brave, sacrificing your life for mine to save....Toby B. Meyer, Louisville, Ky.

Remember me on quiet days while raindrops whisper on your pain. But in your memories have no grief, let just the joy we knew remain. Remember me when the evening stars look down on you with steadfast eyes, Remember me if once you wake to catch a glimpse of red sunrise.~~And when your thoughts turn to me, know that i would not have you cry. But live for me and laugh for me, when you are happy, so am I.~~Remember an old joke that we shared; think of me when Spring walks by. Think of me when you are glad and while you live, I shall not die.

Life goes on. ~~If, I should go before the rest of you, break not a flower or inscribe a stone. Or, when I am gone speak in a Sunday voice. But be the usual selves that I have known.~~Weep if you must, parting is Hell. But, life goes on, so sing as well.

Friendship is a priceless gift, that cannot be bought or sold. But, it's value is far greater than a mountain of gold. So, when you ask GOD for a gift be thankful if He sends not diamonds, pearls, or riches, but the love of real, true friends.~~Dave was a gift from GOD.~~Sleep well my friend.~~
