Always Looking Further Poem


Always Looking Further
You lay out your emotions before my very eyes
Like folding out the laundry after it has dried
It sure has been a long way we have come so far
Yet you still see it your way; and so here we are
You’re always looking further; causing me to do the same
I guess if you were not here in the past I would remain
In your eyes I see the promise of brighter days ahead
But I still know where I came from; so I’m careful where I’m led
The efforts that I’ve made have not been in vain
Planning my next moves, I prepare for the rain
You’re always looking further; into the great void out there
I gaze out in the distance, and I wonder as I stare
If I take a new direction, then I can say that I tried
If I stay right where I am now, will my hopes be satisfied?
Still I look on to the future, with a smile on my face
I see the gifts that each day brings me, and I thank God for such grace
You’re always looking further; and now I know the reason why
It’s the force within that drives you, while others just sit by
So if it’s not the same the second time around
At least I can say there’s such great truth I found

Natural News Article: Curcumin vs. Cancer

Joseph Albrecht The inflammation link to cancer is backed by numerous scientific studies, including a 2011 review published in the journal  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences  which found that up to 25 percent of all cancers are caused by chronic inflammation. According to scientists from  Ohio State University's  (OSU) Comprehensive Cancer Center, inflammation triggers an increase in a molecule known as microRNA-155 (miR-155) that causes a reduction in levels of the protein responsible for repairing damaged DNA. And what about the other 75 percent of cancers? Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, appears to have those covered as well. Research released that same year by scientists from the  University of Texas  MD Anderson Cancer Center revealed that  curcumin  actually seeks out malignant cancer cells and alters the regulation of DNA in order to kill them. And unlike synthetic anti-cancer drugs, curcumin leaves healthy cells and DNA alone so as not to

A Page From Life (Poem)

My latest poem about moving an living away from home.  From the day that I left I knew it was for the best I learned a lot on my own Made efforts not to be alone Life’s had its share of ups and downs Setbacks, failures, turnarounds Yet through it all, hope shines on Brighter than the sun at dawn I know it’s not a perfect world Like one big mess in which we’re hurled So much need despite our wealth Much illness among our health And so I’m grateful for it all As I rise up from my fall There never was a better day Than the one that’s not thrown away
