Indispensable People.
Bella Shepard said:

This poem has such a powerful message. There is no person, no job, that is not important, from the person who cleans the bathrooms at Walmart to the mechanic that works on my car. And those who think that they are above only mock themselves. Thank You!

I agree with you, Gold. Music heals and soothes my soul, if only more people would share that with each other.

Resignation To Life.
SureshG said:

She chose, and in so choosing even cancer could not rob her of her smile. Even what befalls her son, does not rob her of her smile. She resigned to live her remaining days as she chooses.
Thank you for letting us know that we have a choice.

Indispensable People.
Doggerel Dave said:

Of course, it’s Ozymandias springs to mind….
Or Narcissistic personality?
Centre of the universe? Do be kind -
Oblivion is for eternity.

Sometimes, the bravest of us all are secretive. She felt no need to share her plight with a stranger. An uplifting though sad write Andy. - Phil A.

Such a beautiful poem, and reinforces the \"Joy\" of each moment of life. How wonderful that you met, and honored, someone who truly appreciates each precious moment. A wonderful write dear friend.

Resignation To Life.
Doggerel Dave said:

Not much more to add after dusk got in first.

When I\'m here I\'m here,
When I\'m not I\'m not.
Let’s not live in fear -
Value what I’ve got.

Resignation To Life.
dusk arising said:

There are only two certainties in existence - birth and death. Might as well come to terms with the fact that we die eventually rather than living in fear of it. Once you\'ve come to terms with it then you can get on with enjoying life.

Peace In Music.
MendedFences27 said:

If only the world could make music and not war. I\'ve often considered music as a powerful force. It can, indeed, bring people together. I believe it would bring peace if countries\' people had the choice and not their authoritarian despots. A well-spoken plea for peace through music. - Phil A.

Peace In Music.
Doggerel Dave said:

And there you pose the question;
Five easy lines is all it took.
Now then it demands the answer -
And no – it’s not the next Chinook.

I hope this doesn’t depress you too much Andy. Never forget the music.

A great tribute to love of the game. The excitement, the thrill of victory, sportsmen all around. What a wonderful memory. Great write!

The Final Over.
Doggerel Dave said:

Vitaï Lampada and you are the go:
Play up and play the game - and you did.
This cricket feels like your forte you know;
Was your talent for croquet deeply hid?

I’d use ‘epic‘ but have been beaten to the draw; I’ll settle for \'a great piece of narrative\'. Well writ, Sir!

Doggerel Dave said:

Wot – you talking to me?
Just shut up and let it be -
Let the world be a kinder place
Without my contribution in this space.

Should I get your words tattooed to my ……….. as a reminder, Andy? 🙂
