Banter.

Yes banter in jest, within the boundaries of respect, but freely, frivolously. Freedom to express allows for greater enhancement

Stop and Look.
Suresh said:

Our youth makes us race around, to gather as much and as fast as we can, no time to smell the flowers.

Infancy, a stage of exploration, to learn our surrounding.
Maturity, a stage of appreciation, to become our surrounding.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

THANKS UNCLE ANDY : Angela here its 8:30pm here so Im just relaxing and catching up on the News ! BRIAN tells me he has a Poem on BREXIT which he will post later ! Love the famous duet between Louis & Bing ~ Gone Fishin\' instead of just a Wishin\' : Amen. STOP - LOOK - LISTEN was always a mantra of My Mamas : You\'ll never know what you missed ! I do more walking NZ and there is so so much to see & hear ! Thanks for the Poem ! Retirees tell me one of the many Joys of Retirement is that ONE DOES SLOW DOWN and thereby one gets much more out of life and there is always tomorrow. I guess I can retire at 55 on the NHS which is 2043 which dont seem too far away ! But I need to raise a Family (2 or 3 ?) first ! Not a lot of chance to slow down : Brian likes to do everything YESTERDAY !!! Have a lovely Day : Stopping : Looking & Listening !
Blessings & Peace & Joy to you both

You are not going to fail in anything, you\'re far too positive a bloke to fail.

Fay Slimm. said:

And beautiful words you compose in this ballad to real success dear Goldy - - keeping alive the essence of wonder and talent in others as your poem mentions is a fine way of staying afloat. May Caliopé ever be at your side.

dusk arising said:

That is a reallly refreshing read Goldfinch because it\'s clear you are really coming to terms with this huge upheaval in both your emotional and everyday life.
Respite care is a wonderful break for you and there is plenty of life going on out there for us in our later leisurely years (said he preparing to go and do half a days work).

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD MORNING ANDY ~ Thanks for the MUSIC ! We attended a Wedding in Wales (BALA) a couple of years ago and a Young Lady played softly on a HARP all through the meal ~ HEAVEN ! Angela wanted one but I told her its eitheThanks for you Poem ! It is a Problem faced my Church Members and friends of my PARENTS. Some find it heart rending but others see it as being CRUEL to be KIND as they need the RESPITE to enable them to care ~ a paradox ! The last six lines made us both cry. However it assured us that whatever we have to face in the future ~ underneath and round about are the loving arms of JESUS ~ AMEN !
Blessings & Love to you BOTH ~ now & forever !
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Im off to work ~ its 8 pm in New Zealand !

A bitter-sweet sort of write Gold. We had some similar family situation, but not the same ailment. Thinking of you both.

A Plethora of Sues.
dusk arising said:

Mad. You are delightfully mad! I put it down to the company you keep when out dining.
Begs the question. During the meal could it be true that Sue-et (ate) dumplings. Sue-perannuated but sweet as sue-crose sprinklings.
To say much more would be sue-perfluous.

dusk arising said:

The Avon, your buddy. A peaceful river. I knew it as it flows through Lower Moor and south of Fladbury where i lived a while back. I often pull off the road east of Pershore and quietly sit on its bank between the old and \'new\' bridges. Calming.

Nature provides. As simple as it may seem, having a piece of Nature to call your own.one that soothes the aching soul, is a Godsend. Enjoy your times there. We\'ll simply enjoy your poems about them. Thanks for posting this. - Phil A.
