Wonderful words Dan, and in that picture I can see the love that you have for each other. My son and I have this similar and so wonderful gift of love for each other.

I know that feeling well and it\'s wonderful to know the same is coming back at you.

Look after him, difficult years are ahead as you know when all kinds of temptation will encourage him astray.
Fatherly love is unconditional and so rewarding.

Goldfinch60 said:

Your reflections can sometime be fleeting but they can be so wonderful that they need to be put into words. I can get lost in them, listening to music, walking with nature and writing words about them can give me such wonderful times as I am sure you have with your family and your dogs.
Keep your words flowing Dan.

I lose myself in my art - just off to do some designs for an album cover for a Christmas release - so little time to get it done. Just hope what I come up with meets with approval. But it keeps my mind occupied. A poignant write Dan.

I guess we all get lost in the day to day humdrum and if we look too closely so the misgivings begin.

Instead, I think of something beautiful, poetic. Sometimes writing about it, as a complete change from writing about me, is really lifting and reminds me - the world really is quite beautiful.

Tree of life
Goldfinch60 said:

That tree of life has so many memories for us some good, some bad, some indifferent bu the good always outweigh all the others.

Those are the words of a man who has come to terms with the way of the world in a gentle sphere through times of trouble, tears and damned steadfastness.

Great to see how far you have come over the years, that place where you now are is filled with family, peace and love, especially love. That love will be forever with you.

Unspoken words not healing
Goldfinch60 said:

Every line we write puts part of the life within us onto the page and with those lines we can become freer within ourselves and move onto a better place within our lives. Those lines are so important to us all.

Only someone who pours everything he\'s got into his poems would choose to say this: each rhyme takes its toll. To those of us who do that in any of our endeavors, very memorably put.

Card or not! This war won\'t stop
Goldfinch60 said:

So many people just do not see or want to be aware of hidden problems, some cannot even care for those with obvious problems but in this world there are many, many more who are aware and they far outnumber the selfish brutes.
Keep strong Dan you have come a long way in dealing with your life and your words have been so telling in the struggles that you have already overcome.
Stay strong

So many ways to do poetry, so many reasons to make it. Sending a message straight from your head to another is a compelling reason. Good point! It worked.

A bit of glue but don\'t lose you
Goldfinch60 said:

From these words Dan it shows how far you have come on your journey into that better you.
You have found that way forwards and I am sure that you will now be able to find that way forward for your son into a place of peace wonder and love - that love that you have for him.
Wonderful poem Dan.

A bit of glue but don\'t lose you
dusk arising said:

Probably the most profound piece you have ever published on mps here Dan.
When you lift your head above your own concerns about how you relate to society and show your concern for others, especially those close to you.... it\'s these times we all can see the soul of you and there is much wisdom in there.
You are a very humble saint in my estimation.

Undervalued
Goldfinch60 said:

In your world you have found the place that suits you and where you are happy in helping others to find there way. Money does not matter as you have riches within your life and they are so invaluable.

Undervalued
dusk arising said:

Some charge thousands.... and walking through town you see a busker with a tin of small value coins at their feet. You stop and realise this person is truly a talented artist. Later on TV is some pretty kid who can\'t sing or play without enhancement but obviously earning a lot of dosh.

Life is unfair and nobody gets any kind of a guarantee.

But inside there is a light, a glow, which some of us become aware of and it keeps us doing what we do. Because, even if its just for ourselves, we know we do it well.

Keep on keeping on. Move the world just one step on.
