Mowing Grass

An Army soldier in Iraq 

with his tiny "plot" of grass in front of his tent.

 It's heartwarming!  

  Here is a soldier stationed in Iraq ,

  stationed in a big sand box. 

He asked his wife to send him dirt ( U.S. soil),

 fertilizer, and some grass seed

 so that he can have the sweet aroma, 

and feel the grass grow beneath his feet. 

When the men of the squadron have a mission 

that they are going on, 

they take turns walking through the grass 

and the American soil -- 

to bring them good luck.

If you notice, 

he is even cutting the grass 

with a pair of a scissors. 

Sometimes we are in such a hurry

 that we don't stop and think about

 the little things that we take for granted.

Upon reading this, 

say a little prayer for our soldiers 

that give and give (and give up) 

so unselfishly for us.

You don't have to send this on,

 but gosh, who wouldn't?
