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!

dedication to a cause
calling the spirit on
it is time to stand up
this is a call to arms

we forget our pains
as they soon fade
we remember theirs
a pain that does not

for those that suffer
we suffer as well
without sacrifice
understanding fails

I pray to never know
I pray no more will
I pray this dies a death
worthy of its crimes

tomorrow I will walk
seeking to find a cure
for all those in need
may it ease their pain

This is why I Relay, family, friends, loved ones passed away, may their memory inspire me and keep me going until the cure is found.
DAMN YOU TO HELL CANCER!!!!!!

my heart is warmed
because you are there
my days are brighter
for having you in them

there are no words
to describe properly
what friend means
when you are involved

you have my friendship
my love and affection
and my gratitude as well
for calling me your friend

better living through chemistry
improving the world we live in
through one tiny pill at a time
happiness, thy color is ______

The One Hundred Fifty Second, May 31, 2011

oh the rambling drone
drawing my thoughts
leading them astray
kidnapping my reason

a wordless conversation
my ears stopped transfer
I hear nothing but a buzz
I fear my brain is melting

time passes like cold tar
I feel myself growing older
and still the noise remains
my mind has left me

and it isn't campaign seasons yet

The One Hundred Fifty First, May 30, 2011

remember them this day
giving thanks to them all
let none live yet forgotten
repay them their sacrifices

give back of your freedom
sacrifice of your time
reach out, say thank you
be worthy of their pains

remember that the fallen
are not only on the field
but fallen from society
homeless on the streets

tucked away in hospitals
carelessly overlooked
out of sight and mind
remember them as well

too all those that fought
not for rhetoric party lines
but for freedoms held dear
my gratitude is yours

may I always remember to say thanks

roast the grains
crack the grains
soak the grains
drain the grains

heat the water
pour the water
stir the water
change the water

drain the wort
boil the wort
chill the wort
ferment the wort

enjoy the beer!
