The Spiral

The Spiral, by Jeff Day

Within a company of friends,
I tread upon ambitious feet,
I trust the hand that leads me round,
For wise o'erseers to meet--

Strike! Once we pass.

The words of fellows long since gone,
Echo, coursing through our halls,
Sacred writ have they become,
To countless generations' souls--

Strike! Twice we pass.

Ascending up the grand stairway,
A lesson learned each step,
'Tis only here harmoniously,
That earth and heaven's wisdom's kept--

Strike! Thrice we pass.

'Twas here the first of all proclaimed:
This upright spiral knows no end.

Take, Work, Teach.

And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters on M.S. or breast cancer.Many of the struggles Coach Factory Online her speech will discuss were not so much his, but hers and his father’s. Mrs. Romney has multiple sclerosis Gucci Belt and battled through breast cancer. The boot-strap section of the speech will belong to George Romney, Mitt’s father who, she will Louis Vuitton Belt remind viewers, never graduated from college, and instead became a carpenter and slogged his way to head a car company, Coach Factory Outlet then become governor of Michigan.At every turn in his life, this man I met at a Louis Vuitton Outlet high school dance, has helped lift up others,she will say. “He did it with the Olympics, when many wanted to give up. This Coach Factory Outlet is the man who will wake up every day with the determination to solve the problems that others say can’t be solved, to fix what others say is beyond repair.
