Poetry On Odyssey: The Hero

Many may say I took quite the gamble, Yet I would take it again with great pride

Poetry On Odyssey: The Hero
Sam Williams

Continually I enter these places unknown

With my spirit, again, swiftly battered

Where toil was great yet reward is not shown

My efforts simply no longer matter


You see now beloved, efforts here are quite callous

If rooted lies something infected

The world is justified through pain and malice

Yet, a greater meaning I have detected


Not you, not me, for we are no different

For mere men we were given a surplus

But there is one who conquers all our malignance

And with that yields a newfangled purpose


Sorrow will no longer find me in shambles

With this one, the hero, at my side

Many may say I took quite the gamble

Yet I would take it again with great pride

We Need More Than Memorials this Memorial Day
Cape Cod Irish

When I was a child, I used to look forward to Memorial Day Weekend from the time I returned to school after Christmas vacation. It was the yearly benchmark announcing the end of the school year and the beginning of summer vacation. It meant I was one step closer to regattas, swim meets and tennis matches.
