I wrote this poem about one of the best expiriances in my life. It's a serious but very happy poem for me. It is the promise to keep living and trying for the best even when things don't feel as good as they did then. So without further ado:

Battle Cry of the Youth

Raise your voices loud and clear
Remember friends, love is near
A spirit so strong that all must cheer
Drunk with joy and not with beer
Raise your voices loud and clear!

Crying, laughing, here we go
Armour on run to and fro
Dancing, singing, high and low
Friends now may we meet the foe
Raise your voices... here we go!

Raise your voices yell and cheer
Stand together there as here
And when each day you face the mirror
Remember light that ends all fear
So raise your voices loud and clear!

"Be Strong and Always Remember what made you you." Earl

"Ooo!!! Ooo!! I know! I know! um...he he" Earl
(Yes I am crazy)
