This is great writing Goldie. It made me think even more about that question. Am I being myself? The beginning is to find our true self, what is not easy either.

Goldfinch, you may have been inspired by Mugsdaddy, but you wrote something all your own. Something beautiful and true, your own self. Sometimes we worry too much about how other people see us and end up slipping into a role, playing the person we think they want to see. And that person may not be us.

Yep, his sense of humour is wicked! Once you learn to accept what he/she/it is showing you. Wish i\'d seen it a long time ago. I hope your piece encourages some to think about it and hopefully see.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Goldfinch, you took a great weight off my shoulders. I can now breathe easy because I figured if He accepts you, he for sure will accept me!

Accidental Poet said:
In Plymouth, Massachusetts there is astatue about 140 feet tall called \"Our Forefather\'s Monument\" of a lady holding a book in one arm, and the other hand pointing a finger up towards the sky. Whenever I see it I wonder if God has a sense of humor and envision a statement to God, \"Hey God, pull my finger\"

A fine write Gold! lol. There\'s the saying \'If God has accepted me, he will accept anyone\'!
Yet there is simplicity and profundity in human beings being accepted by God by coming to Him through Christ.

Oh Goldie! This is very sweet. In my family we don\'t have dementia yet but my ex husband mother she has it has a long, long time. We laughed sometimes with her too because she got to be like a child. She laughs all the time and then sometimes she also cries for no apparent reason. She is going to be a hundred this year.

Gold - It\'s a tough situation you are in, but to be able to find humor anywhere in ones life is reason enough to go on living. When we laugh at ourselves we laugh loudest. To write about your situation, perhaps will help relieve some of the anxiety. Keep on laughing, keep on smiling, and keep on writing. - Phil A.

Goldie, this had me almost in tears. My adoptive mother had Alzheimer\'s Disease and anything she forgot of didn\'t bother in the least. I\'m sorry your wife has Dementia, but as you both laugh so much, isn\'t that still what life is all about? Long may both of you laugh Goldie. ; )

Goldfinch, this is such a beautiful, tender, happy/sad, but full of love poem. It made me remember the time I called my mom (I think she was 91 then) in Switzerland. She had had a massive stroke, was bed-ridden, and suffered of dementia as well. On the phone she told me that she had married again. Who did you marry, I asked. She was quiet for a moment, then broke out into laughter and giggled
\'I have no idea\'! We had a big laugh.
Your poem means a lot to me! Thank you!

This is so uplifting in such a sad way - a joy to read Andy. On the matter of laughter my wife and I are the same but (naughtily) we find what sets us off is being able to see the double entendre in perfectly innocent comments and phrases. The other night a chef referred to hot gingers and we were convulsed - we are total gigglers even at our ages.

Is Opera For Me?

As a vocalist, I do appreciate the fine voices that present opera, but must say it is not my favorite format for hearing a good voice. Well done poem, Goldie!

I have to agree with Michael here - opera has ever been fighting to get nearer to my heart via plots - yet the music has its own power to delight. A great piece of work.

Goldfinch, after reading your incredible poem I want to run out and listen to an opera!
And here is the other reason:

I have a love hate affair with opera. Being a realist I find the find the ludicrous plots a bit of an insult to the intelligence but then I hear the wonderful music and the scales begin to weigh in favour - my favourite memory: seeing Aida in Varona in the amphitheatre, just magical - this is a super piece of poetry Andy.
