“Bring You Flowers” is a new page in the Galaxy Cafe section. This page is dedicated to our troops & their families, and is meant to honor those who are serving our country. “Bring You Flowers” is a song written and performed by Kristen Scott, a new artist on DesertSnow. The song is about a young woman who lost her husband in the war in Afghanistan, and is now raising her son alone. This song is based on a true story. As we celebrate the holidays, please remember our troops and their families in your prayers and in your gifts, whatever you are able to do for them.

For God so loved each and every person throughout all ages that he sent his only Son (a Prince) to this world as a homeless man (a Pauper)...that whoever would believe that he really is a Prince and accept his death (as payment for the things they have done wrong), they would not lose themselves (die) but inherit the true riches (that will never fade), and live forever with God...John 3:16“The foxes have their dens, and the birds have their nests, but I, the Messiah (Jesus Christ) do not have a place to lay my head.” Matthew 8:20

This page is dedicated to the family and friends of Claire Davis. She was a senior at Arapahoe High School, class of 2014. She loved horses, and people around her said she had a big heart and cared for everyone. This poem is written especially for her parents and those who were close to her. I hope the poem, pictures, and words on this page help and encourage everyone who loved her.

A Few Days Ago
There are ribbons and cards and hearts
And pictures where crayons made their marks
And stuffed animals staring out across the road
By a sidewalk where people walked and stood
And gazed and prayed as long as they could
There are trees and wreaths and stockings red
Hanging in houses with empty beds
With people in the night staring ahead
Instead of sleeping and dreaming of snowmen and sleds
They are fully awake and pondering instead
The history and mystery of a few days ago...
One young girl has more presents than ever
From so many waiting for what seems like forever
For any good news that might come their way...
But the minutes turn to hours as they wait each day
And all the presents silently before us lay
You've never seen so many people with just one wish
That Claire could come home and see all the gifts
And love and hope and silent prayers
That she will come home and see us there
But all our plans changed - and we can't believe...
The history and mystery of a few days ago...
And a few days later...
The doorway of death opened for her
And she walked through - and it's all just a blurr...
The presents and bows and cards and their colors
Slowly fade before her family and friends and all the others
Waiting for Christmas day - waiting to hear her say,
"I came back, and it's over..."
The history and mystery of a few days ago...
And clocks keep on ticking and the world turns around
Without Claire speaking or walking or making a sound
Empty shoes in her closet and clothes hanging there
With no one to wear them - her room is so bare
...Without Claire...
We sit on her bed in silence now and stare
Seventeen years and she was taken away
By the history and mystery of a few days ago...
We're stuck here now in the room where she slept
We can't seem to move
Though others say "Go on..."
It will be so hard to go to work
With no phone calls, laundry, or food to cook for her
For seventeen years we got used to this
Making a sandwich for her, or giving her a good-night kiss...
And when the alarm goes off in the morning
When the sun goes down at night
There is only silence where once her voice stood out
Sometimes with a whisper
Sometimes with a shout
But always from a heart so dear...
Please be patient and understand
When we can't walk as well
Or think or even stand to tell
Anyone how we feel
Or what we need
Or where we are going now
We must find a new voice
A new song
A new day-to-day way
Because we can't go around this grief;
We must go through it
Until the day when we see her again
On the other side of life...
For the family and friends of Claire Davis

I wrote this song for those who are really hurting. Here are the lyrics:
Living Water
The living water
Remains
When the river of dreams
Has run dry
The living water
Is flowing
When hopes
Have all run dry
When life
Has made you cry
It flows
And heals your soul...your soul
Deeper and wider
It's flowing
Nurturing the tree of life
Whose leaves
Are for healing
A broken heart...
A broken heart...
And your tears
Will lead you
To the throne of Majesty
Where caring
And kindness
Make your sorrow fly away
Let the living water
Take away your sorrow
And the streams will lead you
To your heavenly Father
Let the living water
Find the pain that hurts you
And the streams will lead you
To a place refreshing...
