Array ( [sid] => 52732 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => AUGUST 20 [time] => 2004-06-19 13:55:18 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I am my mother's son.
She gave birth to me in seventy-one.
I wish I could remember the day of my birth.
The day I came to this Earth.

Life is still not clear.
Not even after nearly thirty-three years.
I have my wants and needs.
If you cut a man, he will bleed.

I was born on the 20th of August.
Eventually I will die and turn to dust.
I will most likely never marry or have any kids.
I just hope that future generations will remember some of the things I did.

well if you hope they remember you for what you do, you must do some things that are incredible. i find that you can always be remembered by just being there for someone everytime they are in need. excellent write.
