They were so young. It breaks my heart. And this needless waste of young and precious lives goes on.mountainearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977393968796316843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-78049757498787482172007-12-14T05:05:00.000-08:002007-12-14T05:05:00.000-08:00I would be delighted for you to Blog the comment.L...I would be delighted for you to Blog the comment.<BR/>Love Blossom xBlossomcottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341216100768538015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-39829328206178942822007-12-14T03:19:00.000-08:002007-12-14T03:19:00.000-08:00Lovely posting all round, Cait.

First...Blossom, you have brought tears to my eyes. Firstly with your soldier's quote which on its own speaks volumes and will stay with me forever. So much so that I am tempted to put it into a poem.<BR/>For every soldier in the world, especially in an illegal or immoral invasion, is someone's best friend, someone's son. You could add daughters to this list but to me the words women and warfare are not in harmony.<BR/><BR/>Then I read dear John Denver's piece. I had all his records I thought but have not heard this before. If you don't mind I would like to blog your comment, would you mind?Cait O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04569760764766505179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-89854887482804106972007-12-14T01:50:00.000-08:002007-12-14T01:50:00.000-08:00Your refernece to the troops returning from Iraq a...Your refernece to the troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan made me think of the Guard of Honour at my neices recent wedding they were all wearing their medals with pride and I ask one young solider what it had been like he replied " I held my best friend is my arms when he died" There is no answer to that. I was a great admirer of John Denver and saw him play several times but the moment that stands out in my mind most was when in almost complete darkness baring a small and pale light he recited this poem.<BR/><BR/>There's a name for war and killing<BR/><BR/>there's a name for giving in<BR/><BR/>when you know another answer<BR/><BR/>for me the name is sin<BR/><BR/>but there's still time to turn around<BR/><BR/>and make all hatred cease<BR/><BR/>and give another name to living<BR/><BR/>and we could call it peace<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>And peace would be the road we walk<BR/><BR/>each step along the way<BR/><BR/>and peace would be the way we work<BR/><BR/>and peace the way we play<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>And in all we see that's different<BR/><BR/>and in all the things we know<BR/><BR/>peace would be the way we look<BR/><BR/>and peace the way we grow<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>There's a name for separation<BR/><BR/>there's a name for first and last<BR/><BR/>when it's all for us or nothing<BR/><BR/>for me the name is past<BR/><BR/>but there's still time to turn around<BR/><BR/>and make all hatred cease<BR/><BR/>and give a name to all the future<BR/><BR/>and we could call it peace<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>And if peace is what we pray for<BR/><BR/>and peace is what we give<BR/><BR/>then peace will be the way we are<BR/><BR/>and peace the way we live<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Yes there still is the time to turn around<BR/><BR/>and make all hatred cease<BR/><BR/>and give another name to living<BR/><BR/>and we can call it peaceBlossomcottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341216100768538015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-91937084514146025252007-12-14T00:21:00.000-08:002007-12-14T00:21:00.000-08:00Yes it rang some bells.And i love your taste in pi...Yes it rang some bells.<BR/>And i love your taste in pictures, i too cant give things unless i love them too!Casdokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497897393162856190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-14078775207806159172007-12-13T17:29:00.000-08:002007-12-13T17:29:00.000-08:00Hello Cait, it is myself, back again in the same e...Hello Cait, it is myself, back again in the same evening.<BR/><BR/>Thinking about peace and war. You take me back to the mid 1970's when I used to write letters to Nixon. I was not as eloquent as Sassoon, but always just poured out my thought that the President could stop some killing. And why not do so.<BR/><BR/>As always, your thinking and writing are rich, and draw forth lots of comments.<BR/><BR/>xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.com
