my_will_is_good
thy to do good,
to do right,
to grow,
to live, to love,
to laugh and learn
to smile and to even cry
to dream and to fly
but mostly,
at the end of the day
just to f'ing try.

to be the student,
be the teacher,
and then,
every once and awhile,
to dip into the ether

to stumble, fall, laugh, get up
and try again

to do better.

or something like that

perfectly_chaotic Sometimes I still forget that when I stumble and fall that that is all that has happened. It seems such a joy and relief when I do remember to get back up, laugh and move on. Thanks Thy, I appreciate these words. 110702

thy to be kind
to rewind
and to have
presence_of_mind

to be aware
to dare
to care
and to be fair

to utterly improve
to totally groove
to not have to prove,
but to become proven.

to be humble
and to be frank
to thank,
and thank,
and thank.

to forgive
to not forget
to give
to not ill-get

(good will not bad will)

to apologize,
not to sermonize.

to be a better man
to not be a bitter man
to be a fitter man

... to be a glitter man?

(wtf? ok time to go bed man)

...
thy to do no harm
to be the rain
to cause no alarm
to relish a quiet refrain

to be friendly
to be nice
and if i make a mistake
to be willing to pay the price.

to do my best
in the face of my worst
to write these words
but live them first

to write bad poetry
rather than none at all
to express what is hardest to express,
just to express something real to all
