Through out our lives always will there be a Gatekeeper of some sort that we meet along the way. Be it a officer on his beat, a child's school and friends, the birth of a child, our spouses we will meet or even the death of a loved one. Each is a Gate we must pass through. Walk now through the gates of Enchantment and hear the whispered songs as each gate opens for you at but a breath and a beat of your heart.
Dedications:Solider, Father, Husband, Son, Grandfather. In deepest loving Memory of TSgt.John T. Jameson. He served his family, his country and in the end found Peace. Gone but never will he be forgotten.For those of S.C.S.D. For Leah M. . A young woman, a friend, a mother and a very special woman's child. Though no uniform she graced,she gave her life in her sons place. I am glad to say that those who took her life have finally been sentenced and pay the price for their deed, yet what is the price of a young boy who must grow without a mothers love, a mother without her child, and a friend that can never be replaced? There is no price that can ever be paid in full for the deed done. For those of the S.C.C.P.A. Class 3 of N.M. many thanks and for Andrew, who gave his life as many of those who walk that "Blue Line" in the line of duty to protect the innocent, these poems are for you.
