Trust, and believe, in GOD, that BETTER, days are, always--AHEAD
Some, days seem to have, no end, with sadness and dark dreariness-- without --a --break, --pause-- or--END

Then as with me --tonight
I got a long- distance call from a long lost-- Marine--Corps-- great --loyal, --loved --respected--and --true--trusted --great--friend
And i felt just right

The last time we saw one another was on deployment years ago in, Beirut--Lebannon-- 1982--through--1984 When together we faced all the challenges of life as Marines in the--Corps
Its been many-- many years that have come to--past But in a moment, as soon, as i heard his voice, i felt the GREATEST--HAPPINESS--and--REJOICE, at last
It felt so great to communicate and reminisce, and talk, and talk, for over and hour or more
I will forever love my--BROTHER--MARINE--that i served with in the-- Marine -Corps
It really was strange, how i felt so --lost, --sad --down, --beaten --and --low --TODAY But this phone call from Massachusetts, today from my --BROTHER-- MARINE-- from really--THIRTY-FIVE--years ago, --picked --me--up--inspired--me--and--brightened --my --HEART--SOUL--and --SPIRITS-- in every which-- way

He remembered, and REMINDED me of-- my--MOTIVATION--DEDICATION--DETERMINATION--DEVOUTION--and--DRIVE
To be the BEST, of MY BEST, at everything that i did, --and --always--STRIVE
I really feel fresh Motivation, and Momentum, now to pick up the--PACE
And strive to better myself and get motivated and back on track in this life, living, and love--RACE

My --MARINE--BROTHER--reminded me of The-- Motivated,-- Hard --charging --MARINE--i --always --was--day --and night
And deep within me now, i feel new --MOTIVATION, --and--DRIVE--to get up, pick up the pace and keep on a keeping on a fighting th GOOD--FIGHT
