Goldfinch, it is great that you chose to write a poem, and a good one I might add, about the unsung heroes who died so we can live in peace now.
How quickly we forget!

What an especially loving routine, dear you. I\'d say mind the clock, but we all have an understanding of how that happens!

So true, time seems to fly when writing. And bringing tea to your wife every morning for 36 years is probably the most beautiful declaration of love I have read.

Now this is so so true - I get totally carried away writing and my wife is always getting on to me and not without some justification.

Brilliant GF60
Love this......
You have given me
A fantastic idea for
A poem.....
Something I have forgotten
My mind has unfortunately
Deleted some earlier memories
But your wonderful poem
Reminded me of some....
Thank you so much...

Books are like a portal to a world in someone else\'s mind for you to take a look into. Once you start reading, you can\'t stop!

A truth so well stated, and so lost on the current generation ... sad. Reading books is down, but I cannot believe it is going away in favor of the draw of interacting with the new devices. Thanks for posting this one, Goldie.

Books over movies any day. I kind of have a romance with the books themselves. I love the scent of paper, the weight of it in my hand, crisp pages, worn pages...I hope to never see them become antiques. I enjoyed this.

Super poem - so true - and so it is with poetry - I do like poetry in which the reader can paint a picture in his mind - that makes it magical.

Great poem Goldfinch! Personally I do like the BP, but only for about 10 minutes. After these 10 minutes I agree with your poem.

O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward\'s army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O\'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward\'s army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward\'s army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Great fun poem but have to admit I\'m not averse to a bit of BP screeching - err as long as it\'s not in my neck of the woods.

Just a brilliant poem GF60
I love it... it reminds me
Of a song I always get
Emotional when hearing it
Mike and the mechanics
\" the living years \"
I\'ve been at my sons
House in Newcastle for
The last 3 weeks working
And on my way home late
Thursday night it came
On... I was blubbering like
A 5 years old... gets me every
Time..

Very moving words. I played the music and read your piece and pictured a couple dancing. A fine memory for you to have and fine words in your notes. If you have siblings i hope you share this around. Very moving and tenderly written.
