I asked for strength and
God gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for wisdom and
God gave me problems to solve.
I asked for prosperity and
God gave me brawn and brain to work.
I asked for courage and
God gave dangers to overcome.
I asked for love and
God gave me troubled people to help.
I asked for favors and
God gave me opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted.
I received everything I needed.
My prayer has been answered.

Flight to Glory
The sun was shining brightly,
there was autumn in the air
As the planes were being boarded,
no one seemed to have a care.
There were businessmen, accountants,
fathers, mothers, brothers, friends,
Sisters, teachers, children, preachers,
unaware their life would end.
As their plane took off that morning,
no one knew what was in store,
Unaware there riding with them,
that the devil was on board.
On that day these common people
became uncommon in our eyes
They emerged as heroes on that morning
facing terror in the skies
We will never know their stories and
the selfless deeds they wrought
But we know they all were heroes and
their acts won’t be forgot
As they telephoned their loved ones
one last time to say goodbye
To tell each one how much they loved them,
as they were about to die
We are left in awe to wonder
if we had been there in their place
Would we too have had the courage
to meet this terror face to face
We will never know the target and
how many lives were saved
By these unsuspecting heroes,
oh, so valiant, oh, so brave
Unaware their destination
as they left this earthly sod
These brave souls were bound for Glory,
destination, home with God
We are left on earth to ponder
what the future has in store
As our country comes together
at the beginning of the war
We too may walk through the valley of
the shadow as our test
We pray that we may have the courage
to step forward with our best
They have given the example,
paid the supreme price in the end
"Greater Love hath no man
than to lay down his life for his friends"

God Bless You Sue Ikerd
You are True American Spirit!!
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
