Thursday Salute

Mr. Honey and I had dinner last night with three friends whose husbands are currently serving our country overseas, and the topic of conversation at one point turned to patriotic songs. One of my friends quoted lyrics from a song I haven't heard yet. It's a country song, performed by Darryl Worley. Just as my friend's little daughter touched my heart, praying that all their daddies are safe, and that her daddy would be proud of her for being a big girl with all she's doing in school, the song lyrics also brought tears to most of our eyes.

For our men and women away from family and friends...

Pow 369

(Written by Stephen Dale Jones, performed by Darryl Worley)

I was flying down the highway
Weaving in and out of traffic
I was racing time
An old man pulled out in front of me
And I went crazy as can be
I lost my mind
I blew my horn till I got close enough to see
And what was on his car-tag sure convicted me

POW 369
I should slaute you from this heart of mine
And thank you for placing your life on the line
For me, I'm free
I pray that the rest of your journey is a peaceful one
And may you take your own sweet time
Mr. POW 369

The things we take for granted
In this life we lead are tragic
We should be ashamed
He left his home and family
And cast his fate across the sea
Would we do the same
Well I sure bet he's got some stories he could tell
Ain't that many ever made it back from hell

POW 369
I should slaute you from this heart of mine
And thank you for placing your life on the line
For me, I'm free
I pray that the rest of your journey is a peaceful one
And may you take your own sweet time
Mr. POW 369
Let me thank you one more time
Mr. POW 369
