Well Bella, I\'m not sure I wanted this: the relationships metaphor consensus lead to a mental rehearsal of possibilities which did not improve my day one whit.....😟

Never mind, I\'m moving on... 🙂

I suppose you just have to look at the Stones, who still sell out stadiums. You feeling young again and raring to rock.

Dear Bella music has always been a passion for me. I too grew up in that era, but I found with age, that my musical interests have spread to all types. Like poetry music can move the soul and keep us young.

Whenever we think we know something about it we find we were wrong. Being human is to be part of a universal whole. Too much for me to comprehend.

How many people do it.
Work hard all their life, retire, and die a couple of months later.
Work-life balance, me thinks.

Bella this brought so many memories of my own children and the past. The past is foggy like a dream but some images remain clear. I am glad that the clear ones are the happiest

I just knew from the delicious title and even before opening the page that I was gonna enjoy sharing the mess that was likely to be contained within ... and boy, I was not disappointed ... I\'m still wearing a trace of my initial smile as I recollect similar memories of my own kids .. Thank you my dear literary friend and poet ..... Neville

I would imagine not a lot has changed. The fingers are still sticky, the high chair might be a bit posher, but the food still goes everywhere apart from in their mouths.

L. B. Mek said:

Brilliant!
this
work, of sheer unwavering bravery
and sincerity of the utmost intimacy
with that poetic eloquence
of effortless, magnetism
is why I read..
thank you! for choosing to share
dear Poet
\'Food was a tactile experience
New tastes, new textures
The stickier, the better\'
reading choice wording, like this
reminds me, despite it all
indeed, life
is beautiful!
