It is a pictorial of our soldiers in Iraq accompanied by the BYU choirs singing a beautiful (non-religious, incidentally) song. Think about these soldiers, some of whom will never come home and others who will come whom in one piece but will be so changed by their experiences that the home they once knew will seem different to them. This was originally done for the wife of a soldier killed in Iraq, but as these things do, it found its way on to the Web. http://www.soldierworks.com/191/untilthen.swf Homeward Bound In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed, When the sparrows stop their singing and the sky is clear and red. When the summer痴 ceased its gleaming, When the corn is past its prime, When adventure痴 lost its meaning, I値l be homeward bound in time. Bind me not to the pasture, chain me not to the plow. Set me free to find my calling and I値l return to you somehow. If you find it痴 me you're missing, if you池e hoping I値l return. To your thoughts I値l soon be list地ing, and in the road I値l stop and turn. Then the wind will set me racing as my journey nears its end. And the path I値l be retracing when I知 homeward bound again. Bind me not to the pasture, chain me not to the plow. Set me free to find my calling and I値l return to you somehow. In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed, When the sparrows stop their singing, I値l be homeward bound again. -Music and Lyrics by Marta Keen   Straw's world Supporter Username: Strawberry Post Number: 4192 Registered: 10-2001 Posted on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 10:00 am:        Saw it the first time you posted it and it's quite moving.
