As the dark clouds swirled, the forest gnomes busied themselves. For since time recorded, they have been tasked with waking Father Winter. Jimmy's task was to bring the sugary treats this year. At first light, the ten gnomes gathered their belonging and waited for Jimmy. Jimmy, with a smile as large as the valley below, arrived. He was out of breath due to his running back from the humans' bakery in the valley. With p...

We all have sat in our history classes as children. and studied and read about D-Day. June 6th 1944.To honour the ones that climbed into their landing crafts, rode across the channel to drop behind enemy lines, and ferried troops and equipment ashore. Images that have been burned into my soul. Here is a short story to read As the weather broke on June 5th, we mustered with our complete gear. Standing in line we al...
I took the Bristish steel On Bunker Hill. I sent grape shot On Lake Erie. I fixed bayonets On Little Round Top. I felt the knife At Greasy Grass. I moved up the hill Bully Boys all. I bled red Feeding poppy fields. I swatted mosquitoes On the deck of Yorktown. I froze white At the reservoir. I rode a green horse Over the lush jungle. I drove though The hot sandbox. I am an American Soldier.

When we were young children, our grandfather would takes us to camp. As we sat cross-legged around the evening fire, he started his tale of our past. Slowly he poked the fire, sending embers floating into the sky. We waited for Grandfather to continue, restless on our colourful native blankets. He started again, telling one of my favorite stories: how we gained our family totem. The tale is based on our great-grandfath...
At the age of nine, lying in the children's ward. Rheumatic fever, burning though me. Nuns and Doctors come and go, tending a full ward of eight boys. Across from me lay a new boy, no more than five years old. Sadly for he had survived, his family fire. All day long crying between moans, begging for his mother. Nuns being quiet but still they knew, he would be with his mother tonight. Waking up to chaos, Doctors, Nuns and...
Sun-dried mud on youthful faces. Waiting for the shrill sound of whistles. Rolling thunder, foot by foot. Sending earth tossed to heaven. Drips of crimson foam splash mates, along the trench lines. Orders barked with the shrill whistles. "Over the top boys!" Being met with rat a tat from the bloody Hun guns. O what a grand sight as the Black Watch moved. Once more the youth of Britain fed, the Fields of Flanders. We the p...
Ever since man looked to the heavens, they have tried to understand the mysteries that surround them. To make sense of the unknown and to label the mysteries. Look to the heavens and you shall see Sirius, the brightest night star. But to me the brightest star is you. Yes for you are my pillar and my celestial guide. My Nephi you became my Angel. When I stumble with my day to day life, I stop during the darkest part of ni...

A whispered chorus Of wondrous harmony Ignites a crescendo....
