Heaven's gained another
soldier, one to join his
brothers. All five served in
the military, all
at the same time at one
time. They served with honor
and pride; they all came home.
One had three ships shot out
from under; one was a
prisoner of war - hell on
Earth. Over the years, they
died, one at a time - and
now Heaven has gained the
last brother - my Daddy.
They follow new Orders:
they're Heaven's Honor Guard.
Karla, I love the theme of this poem. What a cool thing... I thought the poem would be about the Honor Guard giving a 21 gun salute at his funeral maybe... so I was surprised at the actual meaning. What a great way to think about your father and uncles!
Men of your father's and uncle's dedication to country are why we live free. For one, I offer my most sincere thanks for a job well done. May God bless them all. JMW
...with much beauty...you honor your father Karla...it is wonderful to see the respect you held and continue to hold...for some do not remember until it is too late.
...to all the soldiers you so honor with pride...

Beautiful and loving tribute and reflection of a righteous pride and admiration. You bestow the honour back to your Father, Karla, and we can see the fabric of his strength in you. Many times of such consoling reminiscences will colour your life afresh, I'm sure. The death of my Mother, whilst of course very sad and grievous, was also filled with the luminescence of refined memory and it was a time of great consolidation. Peace be with you... and those you have lain to rest. Love always, Kate xx
Karla,
I've been away from here and at a remote location for most of the last week, so please accept my belated condolences for the loss of your Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Karen.
Karla, your poem gives an Honor to those who serve...though the sadness of losing a loved one is pictured here, I can see your Love and Hope... God places His love on you and your family...
...And you carried on in the tradition of service to our country. Thank you for honoring the five Vidra brothers so eloquently in verse and in action. Very well done; brava~!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin sister, Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <
Join me as we travel together on the road called "Aging." I will be sharing my personal experiences with you and offer ideas on how we can better navigate the complex byways of our older years. Grief, healing, generations, ancestors, and more.
She never felt safe at home as a young girl, and didn't understand why when she finally escaped she wasn't safe in the big wide world either ...effectively jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!
