We Never Know.
dusk arising said:

Well \'they\' don\'t live in the same world as we do. Their descisions for us minions don\'t effect them in their higher social-economic groupings.

As you say, we can always ammend aspects of our lives. Sometimes the necessity for change is thrust upon us for all sorts of reasons and I am thankful that, so far in life, I have been able to make changes and cope with their necessity. Wherever possible seeking out the positive aspect of any change.
Too many moan and groaners who seem opposed to change. Example is the idiots who wont accept covid injections.

Caring dove said:

Your right …. But I think that if and when we go through difficult things , it’s then that we want the more … sadness trauma , for example we know we deserve more than that . And because we are in pain , we want the ‘ more ‘ … always something to be grateful for tho

Nice poem anyhow )

“We look at what we’ve got,

What we have got in our lives,

And not at what we haven’t.”

Absolutely correct!

Amen!
(look at the warmth
in your home, before
gazing, wishfully
upon those greener mirages
at your double glazed
and rain stained, window)

And what we have achieved in overcoming all those bricks that life threw our way..... How we as elders take pride in being what we have become.... How we have the wherewithall to accept what is ahead for us...

So true
Answers some questions that keep me awake
I shall not let go of what I have
Maybe I may not have it tomorrow
Thanks a lot dear Andy

Till the last line, I thought the ghost was just everybody else’s conjecture, and now I know you wanted the whole building to your self. What’s your secret ‘cause I haven’t been able to scare anyone away.
Love the read

as the uncultured philistine I am
although, not at all - hostile
to learning, sadly
this write flew way over
me little brain, \'that wished it could\'
lol
still, Vivaldi\'s timeless \'four season\'s\',
is enough
for me to listen and smile..
thanks for sharing, dear poet

Please don\'t assosciate me with the bible, a book full of contradiction, mis-translations, fairy tales and excuses. On the other hand.... spot on.
