"I May Never See Tomorrow"
Author Unknown

I may never see tomorrow, there's no written guarantee.
And thing's that happened yesterday belong to history.
I cannot predict the future, I cannot change the past.
I have just the present moment, I must treat it as my last.

I must use this moment wisely for it soon will pass away
And be lost to me forever as part of yesterday.
I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet.
Be a friend unto the friendless, make an empty life complete.

The unkind things I do today may never be undone.
And friendship I fail to win may nevermore be won.
I may not have another chance on bended knees to pray,
And thank God with humble heart for giving me this day.
"Eternal Fear"
Written by Anita Layne Riley
Each time when awakened from the slumber deep, in the silenced darkness I must keep. My calm and my nerve when he answers the call for I know he must go and give it his all.
Each time I know may be the last, I tell him good-bye and hold him fast.
I'm always unsure if he will return, but I hide my thoughts and all concern. It can't happen to him. I tell myself secretly knowing I must be left alone in this life without him near, and I'm never able to calm this fear.
He answers the call to protect and serve, not sure himself where he got the nerve.
He made it his life and I understand, but I pray he returns to hold my hand. I tell the kid's he'll be okay, not really knowing what to say.
But hoping they won't see the fear, I feel in my heart as I hold them near.
While hoping my feelings go unknown, I pray tonight that he will come home. I hope in my heart that this isn't the night he lays down his life and loses the fight.
But when he comes home I'll be so relieved, and know I was right to have believed.
That he'd be safe and come home once more, and I'll be waiting when he comes in the door.
Until the next time he answers the call and goes out in the night to give it his all!
