The Unwritten Poem, By the Forgotten Man
Remember the night we first met
and I kept staring
you thought I liked your girlfriend
instead of you
but I didn’t
remember our first date
the picnic in the park
you pushed me in the pond
and laughed while I almost drowned
but I didn’t
remember the first time we made love
it just happened by itself
you were afraid
and thought I was using you
but I didn’t
remember that summer night
we held each other and cried
because we were so happy
and you thought we were being silly
but I didn’t
remember that big fight
and the things we said we didn’t mean
I drove away cursing
and you thought we’d break up
but I didn’t
remember our wedding day
and the joy we shared
we held one another all night
and kissed for hours
you said I fell asleep first
but I didn’t
remember when I answered the call
how brave you were
we talked about our plans
the children we would have
and the life we would live
when I came home from Vietnam
but I didn’t

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
