One for the Road

A last drink before a good cause

By Savannah K. WilsonPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
"Going Dry" - giving up alcohol for a period of time

That was it, downed and gone now, no more

An empty glass, the finish that actually begins

Each year, tradition dictates the final drink

Guinness, the black gold, nectar of the gods

Now gone, my final drink, my last glass

June has faded away into the past tense

Before long the month of July rises up

A month to reflect, a time to be … dry

No more drinking for me until the eighth

Raise the funds, to help fight the big ā€˜C’

Proudly I will say, in remembrance of dad

'Nothing for me thanks, I am Dry this July'

====================================================

I'm Dry this July to raise money to help people and families affected by Cancer, if you can and are willing, please donate here:
