With You As My Dream

With You As My Dream
by Michael Doyle

Once upon a time, there was a dream
And she shared her dreams with me
Told me I was her king if she was my queen
Seemed about right, my walking fantasy

Like a fairy tale told in all of its detail
There is this hope that my heart knows
That every moment shared is real
From sunshine to the playful shadows

I cast my penny down the wishing well
Wistfully believing the thoughts in my head
Every line chimed with the ringing of my bell
Remembering every word she ever said

Perhaps it is that some dreams do come true
This is my prayer every time I think of us two
And the cause behind the all that I've to do
To make these moments a lifetime of me and you

Whispering into my pillow it seems late night
Three words that mean more than all to me
Wanting so much to wake up holding you tight
When real becomes as beautiful as our fantasy

Thought For the Day: They Had No Further Use For Us and Banished Us To the Corner of A Parking Garage. We Feel Incredibly Betrayed

“Yesterday dozens of senators and congressmen walked down our lines taking photos, shaking our hands, and thanking us for our service. Within 24 hours, they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of a parking garage. We feel incredibly betrayed.” – Anonymous Guardsman

While Schumer pandered a promise to get to the bottom of the National Guard being banished by the Democrats to parking lot encampment “if it was true” that they had been, former President Trump immediately offered them free rooms at the Trump Hotel, D.C. This then illustrates the difference between the Left denying truth even when a short cursory review of the internet yielded the above photograph and spitting in the face of our heroes who came to protect these ungrateful wretches. Why were they sent treated so poorly? Keep in mind that the parking garage had one restroom with two stalls and one power outlet in the entire space.

A Democratic Congressman was upset that one guardsman was not wearing a mask at a donut shop and responded back to his admonishment that the guardsman “Appreciates his freedom”. Word is that the guardsman in question had a lung condition not unlike my own. That means the suggested regulations do not apply to the guardsman in question. Don’t get me wrong. I wear a mask. I have almost zero immunity. The risk of wearing my mask is far less in my estimate than not wearing it for the convenience of breathing easier. The point is that the cowardly Democrats thought it was okay to punish 26,000 National Guardsmen provided by the governors of multiple states that were under no definite duty to protect them from any possible mayhem on Inauguration Day.

As a result, some of the states governors have recalled their forces. Those who remained in D.C. have allowed back into the capitol. I wonder why? No. I do not. Obviously, some smarter Democrats realized what a cold hearted, callous thing this was to do to those who put their bodies and lives on the line to serve their fellow Americans even when many of these do not agree with the election results. Duty and honor means everything to those on active duty and my fellow Veterans. How dare that they be treated in this manner. Unity? Wasn’t that the theme???? This despicable treatment of our men and women in our military will not be forgotten nor forgiven by this 100% service connected disabled military veteran. It is despicable.

Say this name, Representative Will Keating (D-MA). He is the beginning of this tragic set of events. Remember this name Will Keating (D-MA). Do not reelect this entitled, ungrateful wretch.

The New Intolerance

Aspen Fell Memories - Trestle Nestled Into Nowhere
The New Intolerance
by Michael Doyle

Critical race theory
Has a death grip on America's legacy
Turning politics into identity
And causing division to loom in our history

Big Tech pushes its aggression
Marking each day with a new transgression
Neutering language to shape theory
That offers nothing good and to the contrary

Critical theory rejects equality of opportunity
For all of the something more which is incendiary
Rejecting as it does America's true foundation
And with it, all of the principles of our nation

This tool of proposed, radical change
Destroys classical liberalism for something strange
Frankfort's embrace of maddening Marxism
And of the wanton and attendant pessimism

This weakens the bonds of needed public trust
Deconstructing the best of America as they feel they must
Acting as though we are the failure of world history
As they insist on keeping company amidst abject misery

In Community

The Book of Nightmares Holiday Village -Teigen Glamping
In Community
by Michael Doyle

Coming together in community
Fulfills our need for family
Anxiousness brings rise to danger
As to each other we have become strangers

Violence takes away from us all
Destruction only brings pride's fall
When we forget our relations
We only bring sorrow to our nation

Praying for peace on our knees
As children of God, we must act to please
Joined together in prayer, it's God we embrace
Asked in supplication, keeps the righteous in place

The arrogance that has stolen our land
And we might seek in each other to stand
The focus needed on the Lord's loving ways
Keeping this in mind in all of our days

Challenging us to step up to greatness
To run our race in its needed straightness
Living our lives in decided reverence
Brings us all to our needed perseverance

Trusting God to use us though we are ordinary
In accomplishing His will into the extraordinary
Doing what is right might have its costs
But, if you have belief in God, you will never be lost
