About Me

Why Marbles My 1st blog attempt Was an answer to a promise I made to my eldest son when I handed him a jar full of marbles. The marbles were from a collection saved by my mother over the years of my childhood, and I must admit that if left to me I would have already lost all of my marbles. My son asked if I could jot down some of the ways these marbles were used I told him I would write down as much as I could remember and send it to him later. I am the supreme procrastinator of all time which resulted in him sending me a reminder at which time he promised not to lose my marbles and I reassured him that I would get busy and tell him and his children how the beautiful round bits of glass and minerals were used for amusement and competition. My Response2 blog arose out of frustration with the attitudes and lack of respect for our country, our traditional ethics, and educational system. Rons Lyrics and Poetry started just because my scribbles needed a place to rest.

DO YOU REMEMBER

Ron Burres 5/27/2010
DO YOU REMEMBER

FROM HIS WHEEL CHAIR 
HE SPOKE

DO YOU REMEMBER HOW HARD WE FOUGHT
DO YOU REMEMBER WHY
DO YOU REMEMBER THE RIGHTS WE SOUGHT
WHEN WE WENT TO DIE
IT WASN’T JUST ABOUT OUR PRIDE
ALTHOUGH WE HAD THAT TOO
WE CHOSE TO GO AND JOIN THE FIGHT

BRINGING  JUSTICE TO OUR CAUSE 
TO ENSURE A HERITAGE JUST FOR YOU

EVEN THOUGH FREEDOM IS A RIGHT
IT IS SELDOM GIVEN FREE
GOD BLESS THE SOULS THAT GAVE THEIR LIVES
FOR STRANGERS LIKE YOU AND ME

ALWAYS REMEMBER WHY
