Rejected/directed that is an amazing other side of the coin thinking there. Knowing the difference changes destinies. Thanks for sharing.

As I look Back.
Doggerel Dave said:

If it’s Fate you are just reckoning with
Add to that and give Luck more of a go.
Give fortune also credit for that boost -
There’s nothing better that fate can bestow.

Enjoy Andy.

Respect Of The Past.
Bella Shepard said:

I am truly with you here my friend, those were the days. You echo something that I frequently say to my grandchildren, that there was a time when even politicians who were rivals respected each other. Now it seems that permission has been granted to disrespect from the highest levels. At least we knew those times, in spite of all the problems. A good write!

Respect Of The Past.
Dr. Soma said:

We should always respect the past. The days which we spent were the best, and the days which we are going to spend would be so hardest.

Respect Of The Past.
Doggerel Dave said:

Might be true for you and me, however..
In the sixties, seventies, while Mary sung
All manner of conflict was going on;
But then, of course at that time we were young….

Get it together, Andy....🙂

The Wonder Of Life.
Doggerel Dave said:

I’d have to say you were lucky Andy -
Some who enter this life at rock bottom
Never have a thimble full of fortune,
With a future no better than Sodom.

Never the less, part of me does admire your optimism in the face of irrefutably bad news.... Take care of yourself.

Literally so simple but so freaking POWERFUL!
Like those last two lines actually sent a jolt of emotion through me.
Love this Andy!!

Can’t see it happening anytime soon.
A shame, because this is all we’ve got.
If optimism pulls through that’s a boon,
‘ Cos what’s to be done is a hellava lot.

Keep up the good work, Andy.

Bella Shepard said:

Dear Andy, This poem of love is so beautiful, and the last five lines just breathtaking. I saw La Boheme several years ago, and for me it contains some of the most beautiful operatic pieces ever written. You both must have been in heaven.

She Is Poetry.
Doggerel Dave said:

I’ve had my say on love and poetry
And feel my irritation is just fine;
So I’m here once more to do my duty…
But Andy ‘cos its you I’ll drop this line….

This is only because you don’t bang on about it all the time…🙂

Never Regret Any Day.
Doggerel Dave said:


But you don’t have any bad days Andy.
Though unfit to advise on stuff like that,
Such counsel might one day come in handy
If ever you again go into bat...😊😊😊

The days I sing are bad, but others can sing and drown me out! lol.

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.

Jerry Reynolds said:

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

My older sisters loved his music and i bet i could join you word for word too. As an \'ex singer\' in many bands/groups before i took up saxophone im living proof that the average person can remember 96 songs word perfect. But i can\'t remember any of my poems! Can you remember yours?

there are those who maintain that we never forget anything, problems occur when filing or retrieving stored information that may or may not have been filed in the wrong place, in the first place .. but I know exactly what you mean Andy .. Neville

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.
