To Inspire Through Stories…


Both of you are very talented, courageous,
and simply an inspiration to me and others
around.

You never gave up HOPE and you continue
to share your stories with others, with
bringing awareness of uniqueness and
possibilities.

Entering a Foreign Nation: You Notice—


The accent/language of the people during the flight
The physique of the people in the country
The food and beverages that they eat and drink
The portion sizes of the meals and drinks
The cars/bus of transportation and license plate
The models and which side is the steering wheel
The direction of the way they travel
The difference to the streets and markings
The buildings and the scenery of trees; land
The underground trains and then walk to area
The way the transportation is designed in city
The way the behavior or attitude is of the people
The way of power outlets and toilets are designed
The way of the currency and the metric system used
The landmarks and sites of history for tourists
The clothing and hairstyles that people have
The food, products and design of the marketplace

(And this list goes on and on….)

Men In Flight


Look up into the blue sky
You see a plane so high

I often always wonder why
A Pilot so willing to fly?

Their family makes a sigh
As passengers say goodbye.

Please don’t let out a cry
Or tears will fall from my eye!

Look up into the blue sky
You see a plane so high

My 2nd Year of Blogging


I’ve shared my lifestyle; along with knowing yours
I’ve shared my religion; as to understand yours
I’ve shared my music; along with hearing yours
I’ve shared my childhood; as to simple as yours
I’ve shared my wisdom; along with knowledge of yours
I’ve shared my health; as to improve yours
I’ve shared my language; along with translating yours
I’ve shared my happiness; as to reciprocate yours
I’ve shared my pictures; along with seeing yours
I’ve shared my thoughts; as to educate yours
I’ve shared my ideals; along with interpreting yours

Excruciating Physical Pain


Shows that you’re vulnerable
Dampens your spirits
Cuts like a knife
Can start the flow of tears
Thinking becomes lessened
Lose interest of material things
Mind directed on the pain
What steps are taken next
Remembering your loved ones
Flashback to survival

Love Conquers All


I learned that
Through the struggles,
Through the pain.

One thing remains…

Love of God and others
Helps take it away,
Day by day.

War and Its Emotional Effects



these days my brother was mortally wounded in 1992…

“Can you briefly tell me what he said in the letter that is vital for us to know?  What do you remember as IMPORTANT in the words that he left for you?????”

in wounds on the battlefield lying wounded…

“You sound very hurt from this terrible war?  It must have been so bad”

worse than you think…

what about the novel that I possess

“tell me of your novel?”

this is unpublished novel about the war in bosnia

i want to publish in USA, need a publisher

“are you writing this?”

it is written in the war in war conditions

“Your brother left this behind you told me earlier, now I remember”

“Bosnia sounds like a great name for your country!”

bosnia sounds like carol

history says that bosnia was three

“Has it been published in your country?  To tell of the pain?”

no

THE RISKS TO FAMILIES.  My opinion

Christmas so Bright (2012)


Christmas decorations all so bright
In the glistening snow of white
On this wintery cold night

It is an awesome, beautiful sight
When you see the blinking light
On this wintery cold night

Families gathered around so tight
For the meal to soon take plight
On this wintery cold night

Thoughts went to the Saviour’s might
The reason for peace and not to fight
On this wintery cold night

Greetings to all of you this Christmas and
Wishing you all happiness, joy, peace and love!

They help you
They inform you
They love you
