I watched the flag pass by one day,
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease.
I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil
How many mothers' tears?
How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, freedom isn't free.
I heard the sound of Taps one night,
When everything was still,
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant "Amen,"
When a flag had draped a coffin.
Of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free.
I
PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG,
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE NATION UNDER GOD,
INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY
AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

I wish I had a good pic of Simba and Nala, that was my first paint Job ever and I didn't really know I could even paint. It was a really good friends room. On the other wall I did Bambi, Meeko and Flit, Thumper, Mickey, Minnie, Sylvester, Donald, Daisy, and her name in large puffy letters. It was a blast! The snoopy picture does it no justice, it was bright and vibrant colored, matched their sheets, it was amazingly cute when it was done.
Here is my latest project. I have always wanted to do either a Little
Mermaid or Nemo Room....so I get to do a Nemo Bathroom. I may even throw in Sebastian or a few of the characters from Mermaid.
These are still rough but they are the beginning stages of what I hope turns out to be a cool paint job. :)
Dori was being difficult, but I finally got her to turn out well.
