Songs Of Yore.
Doggerel Dave said:

We headed for Magnetic Island after our exams.
For Buddy we were mourning, (also end of school? Not quite…)
Large shack; one record only was carried to our retreat:
Buddy Holly sung for us all morning evening and night.

A good memory though - Thanks Andy.

Yes, music seems to be a time peg. Years ago at an Ad Agency, I worked for, in NY, we created, on that theme \"School House Rock\" for children\'s TV

The Sea Of Eternity.
Bella Shepard said:

I listened to Il Devo as I read your poem and the tears just flowed. This is such a touching and heartfelt tribute to an incredible woman. The young girl who fell in love with a prince, how could she know what their future would bring? Her legacy will unfold for decades. A lovely remembrance of your father as well, I can picture them all sailing through eternity together. Beautiful dear Andy.

I think you have nailed it right there Andy -
You have definitely made a good call.
You have the right balance of reverence,
But let’s remember death comes to us all.

You pen well the example such a diligent Queen who met her task of leading a nation through thick and thin for over 70 years. and echo the comments of jarcher in that she made the best of her inherited title.

A poignant write and tribute Gold.
It\'s happened again - sadness and joy on same day. Well, joy if two old school-friends like reaching age 65, with their birthdays on the same day!

I\'m pretty cynical toward monarchy or any of its like... but there is something to be honored in a woman making the best of her inherited title and role and leaving the trappings of power and self-indulgence behind, I think royalty will quietly disappear, but she did it so gracefully she made a bizarre thing into something lovely.

Choruses bring both songsters and audience together in one tune as your fab poem portrays as well. Kudos!

Plz also read and comment my newest poem too.

dusk arising said:

Julian Clary\'s remark that he would suck a Fisherman\'s Friend after the show always comes to mind in this context briging a wry smile to my face.

The warmth of human voices brings a togetherness and sharing.

Erm, this refer to my song - me singing it out?! Noooooooooo!! lol

Doggerel Dave said:

Wot, there’s a new Fisherman’s Friend’s movie?
I’m bound to see it if it comes my way.
They ain’t something highbrow, like ballet:
\'Grateful you passed this info on to me.

Saw their first one. I was singing in the shower for weeks….

Past And Future.
Bella Shepard said:

At the end of each day, gratitude in heart and soul make for a life that is meaningful and worthwhile. You have expressed this so beautifully, thank you for reminding us that life is indeed full of wonder and good.

Past And Future.
Doggerel Dave said:

Please bottle your optimism, Andy -
You could sell it and make a mint.
Maybe extra cash could come in handy,
But I suspect you are not skint.

It has always been a source of wonderment to me, Andy – your universal and unshakable optimism.

Such an inspiring read and one which I can relate to myself - walking along the road with an appreciative heart is what it all about - thank you for sharing Kathleen Ferrier too.

Good write Gold.
The Road Less Travelled - the title of a book. That will be the road leading to my place, where I sing. Hmm, why is that road deserted?! lol.

Doggerel Dave said:

Wait until the grass grows up to your knees
And the croquet balls go slicing;
Let nature follow a preordained course
Not a croquet game sacrificing.

I truly hope it works out for you (us) Andy, but I ain’t holding my breath….
