Andy,
A bit sad, but a beautiful poem! That great painting is so realistic that when I first saw it, I thought it was a photograph! I agree with Michael, your daughter is very talented!
While reading your poem, I could āseeā you and your family in the coffeehouse enjoying your time together! Precious moments!

I like this piece. It can be very relatable, and as Lorna said, \'it is very peaceful\'. I always enjoy the water. There is no bad in it. Maybe that is why it is separate from other people.
This is a great piece.
Persistence is key

Some of the points made here are so true Andy - - yet the message of life can come through music at times more clearly than from a pulpit - I love the composition you chose to illustrate this too.

So it\'s true! People do nod off in sermons. A pity, as we wish preachers would hold us in rapt attention. But sometimes in a cuckoo-land or dream-land. Did he preach for what seemed like an eternity?
And how\'s those church meetings?! heehee.

You are getting philosophical this Sunday ANDY ! Thanks for showcasing SHIRLEY BASSEY ~ A very exceptional and powerful voice. Diamond ~ as you point out ~ is a form (allotrope) of CARBON which is brilliant in light. It is the hardest mineral known ! Ironically the softest substance known GRAPHITE ~ is also CARBON but with a layer structure (hence its use as a lubricant and its ability to conduct electricity !) rather than the giant 3D molecular structure of DIAMOND. A Friend of mine collected DIAMONDS (as an investment) but did not keep them in a fire~proof safe. there was a fire an thousands of pounds worth of DIAMONDS turned into CARBON DIOXIDE and vanished into thin air ! So Diamonds like all Earthly Things are transients and never forever ! Ladies if you fall out with your husband ~ never throw your diamond ring on the fire ~ throw it in the trash and retrieve it the next day and sell it ! Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN Loved the Poem ~ Please check mine \"IN THE GARDEN\" ! Thanks B !

Andy,
There should be more young men such as the one you met with such enthusiasm for the work he was doing! Bravo to the young man!
āBrindisiā is one of my favorite arias from La Traviata! Upbeat and delightful!
May your days be bright and filled with song, laughter, and some wine!
Brindiamo! š·š·
A fine write! I enjoyed the read and the aria! Whenever I hear that aria, I want to get up and dance...and then I remember the whole opera!

Andy,
So happy youāre here writing all these wonderful poems!
I cannot even imagine the feeling of knowing you could have died because of that growth! It is a gift being given a second chance to live. Now I really comprehend why you always see the light no matter what and telling us that the light is there...we just have to look for it if we donāt see it!
A great write for an amazing read! A perfect Louis Armstrong song!
So happy to have met you on MPS! You are an inspiration!
