Empathy, know what that is? Well youve got it in shedloads... thats how u relate to people so well. You\'ve been there, you\'ve lived it..... you didnt go to uni and learn all about it and get some letters after ya name to prove youre a qualified ex uni geek! ..... NO!.. for you, living it, without any choice, living it day to day every day - THAT taught you. And yeah, youre damned right. You are fully paid up, fuily qualified to do what the F u want to do innit?

Enjoyed reading your words today poet.

Some are gone and some remain.

Some are quite missed. MPS has attracted some quite outstanding personalities in the time i have been posting here and you sir rank highly amongst those outstanding persons.
You always GIVE of yourself and in that amazingly humble way about you that you have.
Always good to read your words.

This is the best thing you have written in my opinion. You now know that the light is there for you where once there was darkness, that light will never fail.
I do not say this very often but this poem is going into my favourites.

Just calling yourself a poet doesn\'t make you a poet
But you are one Dan
You have to write it\'s the ink coming out of your soul
There is poetical snobbery... But not amongst poets.
Great open hearted read Thank you for posting

And, whilst in your own time. please don\'t stop writing such moving and sentimental poems such as this one. I\'ts difficult to let out and express your most inner, thoughtful and sorrowing pain within your own heart. I love you and the way you deal with life in such an inspiring way I can\'t help wanting more of your own dedication to writing such poems. Bring on the next one, brother poet.

I think those are your finest words Dan. Open and truthful and in contact with your genuine heartfelt feelings. What more could a poet be? What more could a poet ask of him/her self?
The world is your oyster.

There was a poem I made up with my grandson, I can\'t remember it all:

There was a monkey swinging in the window
And the window was open
The monkey went flying through the window
But his tail got caught in the jam

Kiddies rhymes are quirky but it\'s the laugh that follows which is fun. Have a lot of funny moments

dusk arising said:

All the cats in the grass
will stand up and smile
at the very first cry
from your newly born child

all those neighborhood dogs
will woof with delight
when youre pushing a pram
and stop you on sight

the birds up above
have a cunning wee plan
to sing every morning
for the children of Dan

the bees in the flowers
gonna buzz out a rap
for that lil girl blossom
or that lil boy chap

Dontcha just love kiddies rhymes.
Yours is a superb nonsense piece today.

Yes, and allow that return to balance and harmony may live on forever within your wonderful dogs life. A well versed poem to tribute to the art of loving a dog.

There is a saying \"one step at a time\", the courage is taking that first step. You know what you want to do,both at is the first step.

dusk arising said:

Setting a target year is good and positive so long as you are mindful that there will be setbacks and falls along the way.I am not being negative, quite the opposite, being strong enough to ride the set backs is purely either in you or it aint. Be prepared.

I love dogs, theyre so easy to understand and can understand us easily too. I don\'t have dog with me because i could not give it the life it wants/needs. Often i will find myself working in a home where the pet dog is left home whilst owners out at work or worse i a bloody cage. I couldn\'t do either of those to my best friend. People treat them as if they can be switched on and off like a toy. Not my way at all.

Goldfinch60 said:

Dan, you have certainly moved on in your life and will continue so to do.
As for 3 am, that when I get the answers to many questions that I couldn’t remember during the day, my friends are not so keen when I rung them with the answer that early in the morning!

dusk arising said:

Reading your comments, you do of course have great healing qualities. You set out searching for self healing, you found a possible route and embraced it. Still embracing it you will radiate the positivity you have inside you and talk wisely to those who carry a burden from negative experiences.
They will be seeing a genuine human who aint trying to sell them anything, nor preach.

You poem speaks of the genuine and \'real\' feelings person you are. Your kids understand why there are tears and you show them tears are OK and so is demonstrating love in many forms.
Hey what a superb example you are to them when you compare the example you experienced.

Dan,

Great poem! Bravo 👏🏻!

I love the fact that you always speak from the heart. You’re absolutely right, it is “Up to us to use what we see”!
In your case, I know you’ll use whatever you see as a positive and make it a part of your being...and then so generously share it with us! You’re amazing! 😉

Although sadness is within your words the new life brings light to our lives. New life will always be there for us all.

True empathy is rare indeed, that you have so truly expressed.

Not my normal writing but neither is life
dusk arising said:

We really are existing in a continuum where death is as much a part of this as is life itself and the very creation of a living being.
What you describe is i think life reaffirming the continuum in your understanding. Something we all need to experience regularly. I think that experience encourages us to love, love and love all around us.
Your words today are full of it.
