A dank and cloudy day,

The coolness that the breeze today,

Makes me inspired and glad,

A mix of the great and bad,

The din of the expectant and holy,

I dare not think of failure,

But of success and what a great day looks like,

So I focus on what 1 thing I can start now,

With the effect that extends through time,

Not that immortality is the goal,

But a life of meaning and happiness,

A life where I did my best,

A life where despite life,

I fought,

I may have gone to war but lost the battle,

But I did stand and I did fight,

And in twilight I hope to remember this day,

The coolness that comes with a mixed day.
