Fields White To Harvest

Lord, I thought I knew you,

   but know the winds have changed.

Tossed away, will you find me?

   Can still , my heart be sustained?

Just me and you when things were new,

then the season's storms blew by.

   Did I forget to worship you?

 

Will you come, Lord Jesus to gather us- your sheep.

   For the days grow long and still,

If we watch and wait, will you hear us yet-

   Can we stand strong to do you will?

 

 The wheat has been blowing in that field,

   While the laborers are so few.

What then, now are we waiting for?

   Can hardened hearts become like new?

 

 Safely can we stay behind you,

   as we march with your trumpet sound?

Or- have we stayed and hid so long now,

   That our roots dry underground?

I pray Lord that you will find me.

   I pray not to be ashamed.

I seek you when it's early Lord.

   I pray not to fall away.

So come Lord Jesus come quickly-

   The terrible day is at hand.

I pray we'll all be steadfast.

   So you may strengthen our spirits ,

as we stand.

Honoring a Soldier's Request To Pass This On

This is a poem being sent from a Marine to his Dad.
For those who take the time to read it,

 

you'll see a letter from him to his Dad at the bottom.

 

It makes you truly thankful

 

for not only the Marines,

 

but ALL of our troops.
THE MARINE

We all came together,
Both young and old
To fight for our freedom,
To stand and be bold.


In the midst of all evil,
We stand our ground,
And we protect our country
From all terror around.



Peace and not war,
Is what some people say.
But I'll give my life,
So you can live the American way.



I give you the right
To talk of your peace.
To stand in your groups,
and protest in our streets.



But still I fight on,
I don't bitch, I don't whine.
I'm just one of the people
Who is doing your time.



I'm harder than nails,
Stronger than any machine.
I'm the immortal soldier,
I'm a U.S. MARINE! 



So stand in my shoes,
And leave from your home.
Fight for the people who hate you,
With the protests they've shown.

Fight for the stranger,
Fight for the young.
So they all may have,
The greatest freedom you've won
.


Fight for the sick,
Fight for the poor
Fight for the cripple,
Who lives next door.


But when your time comes,
Do what I've done.
For if you stand up for freedom,
You'll stand when the fight's done
.

By: Corporal Aaron M. Gilbert, US Marine Corps
USS SAIPAN, PERSIAN GULF 

March 23, 2003
Hey Dad,
Do me a favor and label this "The Marine"

 

and send it to
everybody on your email list.

 

Even leave this letter in it.

 

I want this rolling all over the US ;

 

I want every home reading it.

 

Every eye seeing it.

 

And every heart to feel it.

 

So can you please send this for me?

 

I would but my email time isn't that long

 

and I don't have much time anyway.

 

You know what Dad?

 

I wondered what it would be like to truly understand

 

what JFK said in His inaugural speech.

"When the time comes to lay down my life for my country,
I do not cower from this responsibility.

 

I welcome it."
Well, now I know.

 

And I do. Dad, I welcome the opportunity to do what I do.

 

Even though I have left behind a beautiful wife,

 

and I will miss the birth of our first born child,

 

I would do it 70 times over to fight for

 

the place that God has made for my home.

 

I love you all and I miss you very much.

 

I wish I could be there when Sandi has our baby,

 

but tell her that I love her, and Lord willing,

 

I will be coming home soon.

 

Give Mom a great big hug from me and give one to yourself too.
Aaron
Please let this marine (and all our military)

 

know we care by passing his poem onto your friends

 

even if you don't usually take time to forward mail...do it this time!
Thanks,

If this touched you as much as it touched me,

 

please forward it on.
Let's help Aaron's dad spread the word ..

 

FREEDOM isn't FREE
someone pays for you and me.
