Sky Pilot





This card was made for my youngest grandson! He loves to go to the mailbox and get the mail. I thought it would be fun for him to have some mail of his own. He is dressed in his Halloween outfit and I thought this PM stamp was the perfect card for him. I added some die cut clouds and lined them with a shiny silver paper. A little liquid glass to the heart, goggles, and the patches on the plane. Some tiny hearts were added to the clouds and the sentiment is a yard sale find (but I just noticed how crooked it is!) Maybe that is the reason it was sold at a yard sale. Love this little baby boy and enjoy all the special times with him. I am blessed beyond measure! 
I am entering this card at the following challenges:

My Song: Sky Pilot (Eric Burdon and the Animals)
He blesses the boys as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease and the bayonets they shine
He's there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man
Sky pilot.....sky pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never, never, never reach the sky
He smiles at the young soldiers
Tells them its all right
He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight
Soon there'll be blood and many will die
Mothers and fathers back home they will cry
Sky pilot.....sky pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never, never, never reach the sky
He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given
They move down the line
But he's still behind and he'll meditate
But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate
As the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good, with God you're never alone
He feels so tired and he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said
Sky pilot... sky Pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never, never, never reach the sky
You're soldiers of God you must understand
The fate of your country is in your young hands
May God give you strength
Do your job real well
If it all was worth it
Only time it will tell
In the morning they return
With tears in their eyes
The stench of death drifts up to the skies
A young soldier so ill looks at the sky pilot
Remembers the words
"Thou shalt not kill"
Sky pilot.....sky pilot
How high can you fly
You never, never, never reach the sky
