An encouraging poem, indeed. A simple smile has an effect we don\'t even realize. It\'s impactful.

Paul Bell said:

Having fewer grey hairs is really the argument to have. This needs to be emphasised. I would be looking at Bill-posters just to remind him.

I am so jealous!
you make having a brother
sound like everything, I ever hoped
it would be..
may both of you stay blessed
by that accommodating peace
anchoring, your friendship..
I wish you both good health
and active minds..
I will toast to your brother\'s 70th tonight
hope he has a lovely day
\'many happy returns, yet\'
cheers! 🍻

Pah! grey hairs, you\'re both lucky that you have any hair. Mines shaven off and i hit the three score and ten last month. My three year older brother didn\'t make it sadly but we weren\'t close.

You\'ve posted a great poem today about brotherly love. I know you will have reflected on scenes from your past, from childhood and reading your fine words took me back to my childhood too... thank you.

Happy birthday Terry, may you live on in fine health to celebrate many more with your close ones including brother Andy.

Yes this is so true. It works very well. I wanted to make the lady at the toll gate barrier smile as she was always sullen when I (and everyone else) passed through despite saying thank you and smiling at her every day. Just kept on doing this and one day she smiled! And thereafter.

Someone said to one very anti-social person, fictitious I hope - \'Hello\'.
The reply was: \'Hello? What do you mean hello. What you after? I\'ll punch you on the nose\'. Doh!
Such folk are nor worth talking to.

Lovely words )) encourager and scatter sunshine ‘ I like that line . It’s important to be kind . You know sometimes smiling does confuse people .. my sister once said hello to my neighbours who have been rude to us , I think she even smiled at them .. I think that confused them lol

Bella Shepard said:

Oh dear poet, what beautiful words. Amidst all the woe of this world, there is spring that washes us clean and gives us new hope, even if just for a while. It is our respite and our rejuvenator.

dusk arising said:

With all the pains and sufferings in our world today it is quite lovely and quite refreshing to be reminded in your words of the beauty all around us. How forgiving nature is. How we realise we are attuned to nature as, with the springtime awakening around us we are spiritually re-awakened and envigorated. Yes life is wonderful.

But with all this I am so saddened by the suffering of the war.

Rocky Lagou said:

Yes. That line, \"music is my life.\" I resonate so deeply. Music is my aspiration, besides poetry, and it truly has the power to enchant and captivate. I love this.

Sounds to me that you really are enjoying the finer things in life. I hope you still hear the music of your mind beside your river too.

Paul Bell said:

Music I think is the greatest gift to humans. It can stop you in your tracks, lift you up, put you down, can\'t live without it.
