What a poignant work of art. A declaration of unadulterated love pulling the reader in. Then the beloved is gone, only left in the recesses of the memory. This is really moving, Goldfinch.

An excellent write Andy.

At times we have to experience the bad in order for God to shine his goodness in the long-term arising from our difficult experiences.

With Covid 19 there are certainly lessons to be learnt from this globally.

Keep writing ✍ and safe during these challenging times.

Angela Here - Good evening Uncle Andy - Thanks for sharing such a Eclectic piece of Music associated with such a moving Film - I cried but I loved it ! Yes the Violin & the Harp & the Classical Guitar can all weep if played SYMPATICO ! Love the message in Your PoemEven the best ordered lives have their balance of Good & Bad. Just as in the Culinary Arts there is SWEET & SOUR the one ameliorates and compliments the other. So it is in life the BAD enables us to evluate & appreciate the GOOD. How boring life would be if EVERYTHING was Sweetness & Light & no pain or sorrow - VERY UNATURAL & NO CHALLENGE ! Thanks for sharing.

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian & Smokey ! ! !

Good write Gold. It may be we could take the \'good\' for granted sometimes get too cosy. Then something \'bad\' causes us to see the contrast, and we appreciate the \'good\' again.

Andy,

The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is very special. I’ve witnessed with my own children and their grandparents —a special bond indeed.
I would like to extend my belated birthday wishes to your granddaughter, Steph.
Is she the granddaughter who studied French and Italian?

Happy Sunday.

Laura🌻
N.B.-I enjoyed the video very much.

\'A wonderful relationship

Where two generations apart

Come together in harmony\'
hope you had a joyous celebration of such a momentous occasion,
a \'toast\' to you, for being one of those who truly get - the precious intricacies and cherished relationships of our lives,
\'salud\' my wise friend

Hi Andy,

A great ✍ write. I remember the years of my twenties and thirties seemed to me an eternity.

I turned 40 one day and the years seem to go faster.

Keep writing ✍ and safe during these challenging times.

L. B. Mek said:

still, my friend -your watch will stop again, lost within nature\'s embrace or one of life\'s quickly forgotten wonder\'s,
still, we must yearn to squeeze every last drop from that bitter fruit, we call life...
simple words, reflecting on tender memories have that effect letting your readers delve and lose themselves, awash in similarly cherished scenes of their own recalled memories
a wonderful write!

It Rained.
MendedFences27 said:

A river\'s flow is like water under the bridge. Which has absolutely nothing to do with your poem, but i thought it funny.
Rain and its aftermath are great subjects for poetry. Here you\'ve left us all wondering if it was real or not. I say real. I\'ve seen it when it hits the ground and almost immediately dries. A solid write. - Phil A.

Yes rain can do wonders to dry August ground and still be soaked up by the time dawn arrives..... another one expected here tomorrow so all hatches closed - thank you for sharing your memories of 2018 too dear Andy

It makes more sense to send the politicians back to school,- Phil A.

Back to School.
Michael Edwards said:

They only feed us what they want us to hear. The only meaningful statistics are excess deaths and numbers admitted to hospital. All other stats are meaningless. Yet they don\'t tell us those - only the numbers who died with Corvid whether or not that was the actual cause. And bad though it is who wants to know on a daily basis the running total of alleged deaths . Grrrrr

orchidee said:

So.... a politician opened their mouth again, and.... it\'s as you say.
There\'s more pictures in the papers again, of BoJo as a clown. Are they past the sympathy stage of when he was ill?
There might be a revolt. Maybe they won\'t ALL go back to school? Remember that footballer and the free school meals thingy. He deserves a medal.
