The One Hundred Fifty Sixth, June 4, 2011

some days hold more meaning
as a collection of events come
call it alignment of the stars
or simply a good day to happen

this date is one of those to me
holding several keys of my past
that are important to only myself
providing my private little smile

so if you see a twitch of my lip
a small curling up at the corners
and you wonder at my thoughts
keep wondering, I'll not share

today I walk with my memories
some happy others not so much
but each a part of my life now
all precious for me on this day

I leave you now with this thought
nothing should be more important
than living the life you are given
as completely as each day permits

make each day a fond memory
worthy of personal small smiles
remembering to be true always
to the person you are inside... and smile!

  1. I think on these words...
    ....(live) the life you are given
    as completely as each day permits
    make each day a fond memory
    worthy of personal small smiles
    remembering to be true always
    to the person you are inside... and smile!

    ...It's interesting how these words make me remember how I have not done these things and how it provides me with the opportunity for self-pity. Mayhap I've done enough weeping and time-a-wastin'. I'd rather post this prominently and ignore the pit in my stomach as I lift my chin and look around at the opportunities I will not miss today.
