A read of such moving love will every lift hearts who themselves wish to find it - and also those who understand that love once found can never die.......... a beautiful number from Elvis too - thank you for sharing with us here Andy.

You are learning about love in al it\'s reality as you experience it and live it. Learning in a way which is only open to you and we your readers cannot take that learning journey with you. But we are learning from you in ways unexpected, unexperienced that love is perhaps the strongest force known - or partially known - to mankind.

Your path is yours alone. Your goal we know of. And I think collectively we will you on with strength and goodwill.

BRIAN here ~ Good FRIDAY Uncle Andy ~ This oft recurring Precious theme assures us Younger Members of four important things in LOVE & LIFE !
1. To truly love *The LOVE of our LIFE*
2. For that Love to continue through adversity
3. Death doth Hide but not Divide
4. Assurance of Reunion in the Spirit Dimension
Comfort one-another with these Words ~ AMEN

DV Angela & I expect to have another 50 years together (to 2070) and Children & Grandchildren (like You & Joyce) but Your Poem(s) assures US that Our Love too is ERTERNAL.

Thanks for showcasing ELVIS who transformed Ballad Singing with HIS note perfect 2.5 octave range and a legacy of 850 perfect recordings ! Oft imitated but NEVER bettered ! This is one of our FAVES ~ PERFECTION & a fitting accolade to your Live & Love & Separation with Your Beloved JOYCE ~ An inspiration ~ Absent in the Body ~ but ever present in your Heart ~ AMEN !

Blessings & Peace & Love to You & Yours
Angela & Brian & Smokey ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›

moving, in its raw intimacy and bravery
how lucky you are, to have your Joyce waiting - giving, you the perfect excuse to squeeze every last ounce out of life: imagining her delight, when you share your new stories whilst traversing that afterlife, once more and eternally: side by side

A sensitive write Gold.
Yet in one sense - life is very long, centuries long. Why, we was both there in 1066. Just call us (you and I) Methuselah!
There\'s eternity to spend with my singing - arrggghhh! I will say then: \'I\'m better now!\' lol.

Americanisation of english language useage and unless it\'s slang i hate it. But it\'s the younger generation who are more accepting of it than us old gits and if we\'re hones, it\'s their world now, we have to stay in our \'has beens\' enclosure of \'out of touch\'

My granddaughters are well advanced of their age group because their mum has taken on their home education and i\'m thrilled to see the results. I shall be meeting them again today for the first time in about 5 months. I\'m taking some childish poems I have written which i hope to hear six year old Ruby read aloud.

Thank you Michael, you make a good point, support at home can make a difference due to wealth.

Michael Edwards said:

I fully agree with you. Just a thought though: sadly support at home is often the issue which can make difference - and are those parents with a higher level of education (those generally less poor) better able to provide it?

Now ya can\'t say much fairer than that can ya folks ...

unfortunately the educational arena is still just one of many areas where money has a greater influence than innate academic ability ... oh\' and rarely have I ever seen the B word used more appropriately ....

I was never educated in archery in 1066. Things could have turned out differently if I had been!

Stop Washing.
Michael Edwards said:

Better still don\'t start washing in the first place. Although come to think of it I\'m not sure where the first place is - could it be the maternity ward?

Stop Washing.
dusk arising said:

Ahhh one of my all time favs \'So what\' by Miles davis even though i used to hate the coltrane solo (on a different planet). For me this is the only tempo for \'so what\' yet miles always played it at double or quadruple time live. Very odd.

Recently i learned a song to sing/play on my little ukelele which has an interesting first verse on the subject of time.. \"Hello friend,.. where you been so long,.. time goes by,... it all seems to drift away,... just like a shadow,.. at the end of the day\". An impressive line.

Re: plug holes and washing.... i\'ve saved the shower water and i\'ll think about washing the car with it (only think about it mind u).... then i was going to water the plants wit it but i\'m sure i could get more use out of it before it just disappears...... this staying young is hard work.

Stop washing and keep aging away ... ha - - That seems a good notion dear Andy - -- loved the read and more thanks for the great Miles Davis.

Stop Washing.
orchidee said:

Would it help if we left the plug in after washing? Empty the bath/sink first of course.
They wish I had gone down the plug hole in 1066.

Tosca Acrostic.

Bohemian Rhapsody.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Angela here - Good Evening Uncle Andy - Thanks for sharing BH by QUEEN - Love every NOTE & WORD and it sure makes sense to me ! It must have broken the mould in 1975 which was 13 years before I was born! Thank GOD for CDs and even ALEXA will play it! It is also one of Brians faves for its sheer Musical Audacity! Only Freddy Mercury could dream that one up ~ AMEN. Love the sentiments in the Poem! Thnaks for sharing! We have both been too busy today to post a Poem - *MY SENSE OF TOUCH* tomorrow - enjoy!

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐ŸคŽ

Bohemian Rhapsody.
MendedFences27 said:

Too many trips around the Sun, most of my favorites have melted into obscurity. Songs from 55-60 or so. But then Music marches on, new songs arise and are favored, and then forgotten. It\'s a constant cycle. Loved your poem. - Phil A.

Scarramooche scarramouche can you do the fandango? I dunno why but i always sing the word fandango with a south wales accent... strange but true.
Time goes down the plug hole every time u pull the plug. So stop washing and stay young.

L. B. Mek said:

life wouldn\'t be so precious if it weren\'t so damn elusive...
I say keep your preciousness -nature and give us a pause button feature
and we, will reverse global warming: out of the goodness of our hearts... Deal?!
a poignant question Andy, that everyone can relate to
