25 Apr 2008, In Observance of Anzac Day
To our friends and allies from Australia and New Zealand, for your Veterans of the past 93 years of protecting the freedoms of the world, to your valiant who served and serve yet today, to all Veterans from “down-under”, we thank you and honor you today and everyday.
Thank you for your honored service.
Richard G. Shuster, RandomlyRamblingRick, Anzac Day)
Anzac Day is commemorated by Australia and New Zealand on 25 April every year to remember members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who landed at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. Anzac Day is also a public holiday in the Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tonga.

Thoughts for May©
Thoughts for May©
May begins, the month of flowers,
as Mother Earth, unfolds her powers.
Garden planting, get out the tools.
Summer's coming, clean out the pools.
Mother's Day, is soon upon us,
from whence we came, it does remind us.
From time to time, we contemplate,
her loving sacrifices and care so great.
Fertilized it, so it would look nice.
Think I used it, only twice.
Out of breath, can hardly speak,
the lawn, now needs mowing, twice a week.
Memorial Day, once a time, to commemorate,
those who have died in wars, to keep us great.
Those feelings, now I fear, have greatly weakened,
instead replaced, by America's love, of the 3 day weekend.

A Nurse Is More© ( May is Nurse's Month / Nurse's Week is May 6-12 )
A Nurse Is More© ( May is Nurse's Month / Nurse's Week is May 6-12 )A Nurse Is More©
A Nurse is more, Why?
Though nobody, can say why, for sure,
Nurse's desire, for service, is pure.
Not for themselves, it has to be for others.
A life dedicated, to their sisters and their brothers.
A Nurse is more, How?
Through reserves, of strength, care and love,
Nurses take their lead, from the power above.
Above and beyond, their duty comes first.
Their patient's needs paramount, before even hunger and thirst.
A Nurse is more, When?
When we need them the most, at our times of ill,
Nurses come through, with their care and goodwill.
When we feel we can't go on, and wish, to give up the ghost.
That's when our Nurses, give it their most.
A Nurse is more, Where?
In the hospital, the battlefield, the clinic, school, home or hospice,
Nurses are there, in the ER, the OR, the workplace, and medical office.
Where we are, to go for our care, thankfully, we find Nurses there.
Aging, sick, fearful, weary, we turn to Nurses, and know they care.
A Nurse is more,
A Nurse is more, much more than all we've said, or all we can say,
other than, to acknowledge the Nurses, who so brighten our day.
In gratitude, we thank Nurses, their willingness to serve, we find so appealing,
bringing to us, their comfort, wisdom, compassion and healing.

Together We Are Americans©
Together We Are Americans©
My eyes are filled and overflow for my brother.
Though from different clans, we are together in spirit and in pride and have shared the sacred banner and uniform of freedom, for those of past we did and do today, for all those who will follow in the future.

Whatever happened to those dreams? ©
Whatever happened to those dreams? ©
Whatever happened to those dreams of childhood and as a young adult?
I still dream occasionally and write about such things in my ramblings, RandomlyRamblingRick.
Today, I am content, albeit reluctantly, to close unwritten chapters in a larger volume of my unfinished works, in favor of convention and necessity. I still attempt to slay a few dragons, find cause to help another, take time to count blessings and find appreciation for all of good.
If I were offering advice to those new and young dreamers of today’s world, I might say, take your dreams as far as you can take them and they will take you the rest of the way. Believe in yourself, if what you are dreaming and believing is worthy of your devotion and energies to reach fulfillment.
Perhaps, if you allow your dreams to live as long as you live, you will not have to ask, whatever happened to those dreams of childhood and as a young adult?

Prayer that St. Patrick is said to have prayed every day:
This is the Prayer that St. Patrick is said to have prayed every day:
Worth praying ourselves;
St. Patrick's Breastplate or The Deer's Cry
I arise todayI arise today Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity, Through a belief in the Threeness, Through confession of the Oneness Of the Creator of creation. Through the strength of Christ's birth and His baptism, Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial, Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension, Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom. I arise today I arise today through the strength of HeavenThrough the strength of the love of cherubim,
In obedience of angels, In service of archangels, In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward, In the prayers of patriarchs, In preachings of the apostles, In faiths of confessors, In innocence of virgins, In deeds of righteous men. the rays of the sun, the radiance of the moon, the splendor of fire, the speed of lightening, the swiftness of the wind, the depth of the sea, the stability of the earth the firmness of rock.
I arise today through the power of God: God's might to comfort me, God's wisdom to guide me, God's eye to look before me, God's ear to hear me, God's word to speak for me, God's hand to lead me, God's way to lie before me, God's shield to protect me, God's Heavenly Host to save me from the snares of the devil, from temptations to sin, from all who wish me ill, from near and afar, alone and with others.
May Christ shield me todayagainst poison and fire, against drowning and wounding, so that I may fulfill my mission and bear fruit in abundance. Christ behind and before me, Christ behind and above me, Christ with me and in me, Christ around and about me, Christ on my right and on my left, Christ when I lie down at night, Christ when I rise in the morning, Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone that speaks of me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me.
