Whom I Have Never Met Before

Today is the Fourth of July 

Tonight there are fireworks in the sky 

But it is with heavy thoughts I ponder 

The choices of those yonder 

Whom I have never met before 

From sea to shining sea 

It is a land where I am free 

To worship my Creator and Lord 

Thanks to the men that died at the sword

Whom I have never met before 

Brave and True they were 

To fight a war on our shore 

And others had an ink filled pen 

They used it as a weapon, these men 

Whom I have never met before 

They risked it all for this land 

So that I might freely stand 

Today we honor them who signed 

That Declaration of our mankind 

Whom I have never met before 

I shall never know those brave souls 

Who risked it all on that thin scroll 

Yet it is them I honor and our country’s birth 

And that Red White and Blue with all it’s worth 

Thanks to those men

         Whom I have never met before 






I wrote this poem in honor of all those who have sacrificed for our nation. Thank you.
Happy 4th of July! 

Would You Drink 14,600 Gallons of Contaminated Water?

Did you know that, according to Compassion International, if you drink the "required" 64 ounces of water a day and live to the age of 80, you will drink 14,600 gallons of water! That is roughly the amount in your average pool, complete with a waterfall.

Now, consider the fact if every one of those gallons were brown with dirt, disease, and a whole bunch of disgusting, life-threatening things. That is the type of water millions of children drink every day.
