Is She a Bad Mother.

The fact that they have achieved so much and are ready to forge their own futures is testament to their upbringing - their parents must be so proud.

Strange as it sounds, at the first opportune moment (generally going off to college) they want to fly as far as possible. In USA, it\'s always to the opposite coast.
I agree with all other comments, so won\'t repeat. Though this post sounds tragic, I know it to be humorous.

Nature will have it\'s way and for many of us that involves spreading the wings and flying. If flying is within ones capabilities then one should fly!

Those offspring who fly the nest invariably come back again after adventure has had its fill - thanks dear Andy for your caring poem of tribute to those left behind - good Mums were ever loving teachers of freedom.

Thanks for the explanation! I started to imagine a mother bird who raised two wandering migratory fledglings, soaring off on new feathers to France and China like arctic terns or cuckoos who travel thousands of miles on their migrations. But guess what, they instinctively come back!

Do You Tread the New Path?
Neville said:
I personally try to tread the middle path.. it works for me although seldom smoothe, it helps to keep the eyes open...

There ARE fairy tales brought to us upon feathered dreams. The reality of other\'s lifes can fill our imagination.
Our simple day to day pleasures may sometimes seem overshadowed until we begin to enjoy them. As i know you do.

ANGELA HERE - Thanks for sharing OKLAHOMA ! I always find it a rather sad Musical (with some good songs) Seems like Cowboys & the Farmers never will be good Friends. Its the same with Catholics & Protestants - Capitalists & Socialists - White & Coloured etc ! Where there are differences there will always be Division. Since the BOMBINGS Oklahoma strikes us a rather sad & pessimistic State - compared with Texas & California etc.
Love the POEM and I agree with the sentiment - Each New Day is a day of opportunity & excitement & adventure ! Today was no exception. A whole day to spend with Brian & Smokey and for Brian to explain all the things He had done in the Garden. I was amazed the Tomato plants have Flowers and the fruit is beginning to Form. TOMATES son La fruta d*ensalata espanola ! See how eaay Spanish is to traslate into English *Tomatoes are the fruit of the Spanish Salad !* He also has the WATERFALL up and running - lovely rural sound for coffee on the Patio. We have had some rain today - which is a BLESSING and temperature (20C) more like Essex than Sevilla (30C) !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian & Smokey !
