My Donations

DONATIONS
I firmly believe in giving back whenever possible. And I've been trying to do just that when I can. Below are two really great places to donate if your interested.

I've been knitting a few Chemo Caps. As soon as I get enough of them made I want to donate them to Sue W. Thompson at Head Huggers. You can donate adult hat for Chemo patients and tiny premie hats to her other charity called Miracles Happen.

Soldier's Heavy Brow
Like a soldier's heavy brow
He wears his scars upon his face
Of all the wars which unerased

The past that I kept deep inside
Inside are where my scars did lie
Lie down inside a deep hiding place
Which never shall be unerased

The childhood past, 17 years did last
Lasting memories do remain

Like a soldier's heavy brow
Lasting past of yesterday's pain

Like a soldier's heavy brow
Wars which unerased...

Into battle once again
I grab my gun, which was my friend
Marching onward to the shore
Wear I lay my heavy brow

Onward to my destiny flee
...Like a soldier...I will be.
