Become part of a brigade
Uplift everyone and pass them on
Checking to make sure they are full as they leave your care
Keeping them moving and helping them put out their fires along the way
Everyone just has to do a little to have a large impact
Then we can assist each other when we are empty by filling each other back up
Leaving it all behind was going to be hard
Everyone knew her name, her story
Giving up everything to save their nation and their world
Eventually losing her left eye and arm in the dragon’s fire
Now she quietly sits in the town square every day and enjoys what sun there is
Determined to let her legacy pass into myth and…
Persevering when times get tough is necessary to succeed.
And everyone knows, doing the same thing and expecting different results is insanity.
So, does that mean to be successful you need to be more than a bit touched?
See, it’s leaps in logic like that that show how I almost failed philosophy class.
Being a Pinto type of guy
Everyone was worried about Tom’s back end
And they should be because of the potential of being explosive
No one wanted to see that come to pass
I see you haven’t been paying attention to me.
Give me a break. I always pay attention to you.
No, you’re not. I can prove it.
Okay Ms. Smarty Pants, present your evidence.
Randy, you just told me I could paint a mural on your truck.
Evidently you didn’t know I was secretly hoping you would.
Dumbass, I actually asked you to pass the chips!

Surging emotions hit her mental sea wall
Overflowing into her life
Outside she looks like a wet mess
That is just temporary
Her storms will pass and the emotional sea will calm
Eventually, she will dry off and be herself once more

Selecting the right words to give strength to the tale
Managing to weld together sentences without seams
Intricate work with the hammer to make the whole thing take shape
Then quenching it with an editing pass to give it durability
How a writer forges stories from raw emotional stock

Pass that pitcher, my man
Oh no, my friend. This one is mine.
Utterly impossible. You are the next round.
Really? (Laps up some of the beer.) Want some now?

Don’t you understand how good of a price this is?
Even shipping and handling is free, so how can you pass on this?
And if you want two, well we’ll throw that second one in on us.
Let your fingers do the walking and call us now. Operators are standing by.

Perhaps it wasn’t a good idea to meander in his explanation
Of course he should have decided that about ten minutes ago
Instead, here he was, and even he knew he was mucking up the whole thing
Now he stopped speaking and held his breath, hoping she would let it pass
That’s when he became the punch line, literally, and she knew how to hit
Ouch, but that was not the worst of it
For that’s when she turned and stomped out of his life leaving him in a hard place
Considering she took with her the engagement ring as a consolation prize
Obviously she wanted to hurt him in the pocketbook as well
Not like this was the first time they had had a major disagreement
To tell you truth he felt more like the victim in this situation
Even her sister had taken his side in the dispute
Now that could be because she was a bit biased
The fact that the sister was the woman he was making out with when she walked in
It might have something to do with it
Of course there was only one thing to do
Now that should make really interesting Thanksgivings
