Heroes, we all have them in our lives They give us hope, they help us thrive And no, I don’t mean the ones with capes Just regular humans in all sizes and shapes   No powers, masks or need for fame But they change the world, all the same They live to give us strength and hope They show us love and help us cope   Some wield scalpels, steady and precise Some teach us truth, and give us a voice Some guard our freedom and enforce laws Giving everything for us, no matter the cause   Some our family, showing us the way Parents, siblings, friends, there every day They hold our hands, and keep us warm And guide us through the worst of storms   They fight battles that we often do not see And they give their lives so selflessly They give us all the freedom and choice Yet we take for granted, what they sacrifice   Heroes are everywhere, even if we don’t see They’re normal people, like you and me Whether they fight, heal, protect or teach They leave a mark, that we can neve...

33 years old, wow where did the years go? Time flies by so fast, you, cant take things slow And despite it all, I just can’t help wondering Could my life really get anymore interesting? My memory is both blessing as well as a curse At times it makes me feel that much worse 33 years of insanity pretty much from day one And lord knows, they haven’t always been fun I’ll always be grateful for all my experiences For my family, friends and my acquaintances I’m grateful too, for my enemies and foes Especially the ones responsible for my woes The choices I made weren’t always the best I know someday all my regrets will be at rest And for those who supported me through it all I am who I am because you didn’t let me fall  I’ve been privileged to know love in all its glory Despite the sad ends, they were amazing stories I’ve enjoyed life’s pleasures and I’ve felt its pain I’ve been through enough to drive a man insane I may not have achie...
