Think of me as one at rest, for me you should not weep. I have no cares, no troubled thoughts, for now I am asleep.--The living breathing me that was, is now forever still, and time goes on without me as time forever will.--Those of you who liked me, I sincerely thank you all, and those of you that loved me, I thank most of all.--It matters not if time began or if time will ever cease, I was here, I used it all and now I am at peace.

I stood by your bed last night; I came to have a peep. I could see you had been crying, you found it hard to sleep.--I talked to you softly as you brushed away a tear, " It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."--I was with you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea, you were thinking of the many times, you spent time with me.--I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore. I longed to carry your parcels, I wish I could do more.--I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care. I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.--I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key. I gently put my hand on you; I smiled and said, " it's me." --You looked so very tired and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there. it's possible for me to be so near you everyday. To say to you with certainty, " I never went away." You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.--The day is over...I smile and watch you yawning and say " Good night, God Bless, I'll see you in the morning."--And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide, I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand side by side.--I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me.--Till we meet again, I will miss all of you everyday.--Love John.

The Soldier Poem~~ I was that which others did not want to be. I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness....should I fail. I have seen the face of terror; felt the stinging cold of fear; and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love. I have cried, pained, and hoped....but most of all, I have lived times others would say were best forgotten. At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was ...A Soldier.~~Submitted in deep appreciation of Sgt. Aragon and his selfless act of heroism in defending America and Freedom all over the world.~~Nikki Coan, Louisville, Ky.

There beside a grave she stands, a folded flag clutched in her hands. A silent teardrop on her face, her brave young child has entered grace. She does not hear the sermon said, just memories run through her head. The child she held so long ago, the child with faith she let go. The child who heard the nation's call and in the end gave it all, without fear or thoughts of self, thoughts of freedom and little else. The bugle sounds TAPS in the wind, a mournful song it does send. A reminder to us all, that for freedom, this price was paid, and her sweet young to rest was laid.~~Thank You Mr. Aragon for defending America and Freedom. And to your family I am so sorry for the loss of such a fine, young man.~~Cora Meyer, Louisville, Ky.

The tide recedes but leaves bright seashells on the sand, the sun goes down but the gentle warmth still lingers on the land. The music stops & yet it echoes on in sweet refrains...for every joy that passes, something beautiful remains.

John's Motto for Life....Life is too short. Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Laugh when you can. Apologize when you should. And let go of what you can't change. Love deeply and forgive quickly. Take changes. Give everything and have no regrets. Life is too short to be unhappy--you have to take the good with the bad. Smile when you are sad. Love what you got and always remember what you had. Always forgive. Learn from your mistakes but never regret. People change and things go wrong--but always remember my love for you goes on and on !!!

To some I may be nothing more than a distant memory. My life on earth is over now, But do you remember me ? I know I let without warnng, but GOD'S work for me was through. Please don't try to stop the thoughts of me, because I never will of you.--Some may hear my nmae and vanish the thought of me, why is it now that I am gone no one stops to see, I am closer to you now than I ever was before. I love you all the same and will for ever more. So please don't let my memories slowly fade away...for I'm still inside your hearts you see, where I will always stay.--Don't think of me as gone forever because someday we'll meet again. Keep me close inside your heart until GOD tells you when.--You may be there for many years, no one ever knows, so let my memory stay alive as the love inside you grows.
