That happens sometimes just like that to me as well Goldie. You think you\'re going in a certain direction, then it suddenly changes course. But still a wonderful piece of writing. Kudos.

Paints a nice picture of Dracula, like how you wrote this without any blood flowing. Good structure!

When writing (and especially when posting !) ANDY ~ Please remember ~ The moving hand doth write ~ And having writ moves on ~ Nor all thy piety or wit can move it back to cancel half a line ~ Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it ~ AMEN ~ Yours BRIAN

To express is to be alive. Conversely, being alive is expressing. Well documented in your fine poem, Goldie!

Goldie, in just opening the page you\'ve won as you\'ve answered the challenge by being there in front of it. What you put on the page is all icing on the cake.

Great poem, Goldfinch! That white sheet (or white screen) is always a challenge. But as you say, the moment we put some black on it, we have won the challenge.

Good write Gold. Do I cheat?! I may write 2 or 3 some days, and none on other days. Am I writing in advance?! lol.

She has carried so much burden on her for too long, she just need to unload it. This is a way to do so. On the other hand, she is blessed to have you beside her. Very heart touching. Hug from me.

I sometimes question God\'s guidance. It\'s no wonder we sometimes question Him! Where is He when we need Him most?

When one is taught to believe that a higher power is directing every aspect of our lives, it is understandable what she said. Not a judgment, simply an observation.
Your devotion to her is a wonderful tribute to your love, Goldie, and an inspiration to all. May you find the strength to carry on!

God can take a little blame even if he doesn\'t deserve it. Same as Jesus died on the cross for our sins. God takes it all in because he loves us all.

After my earlier comment and my comment exchange with Martina, I would like to say this:
The reason this poem affected me so much is that my mom was suffering from dementia, my dad\'s best friend\'s wife had Alzheimers and he cared for her for years, my sister has MS and her daughter is always there for her, and my sister in law\'s husband is in early stages of dementia.
I think it is time that we recognize the incredible amount of love and effort made by the care-givers. These afflictions are as hard if not harder for them then they are for the people suffering. That is why I think Goldfinch is a saint. I admire and salute him.

Goldfinch, I do not cry easily. I think the last time I cried was when my mom died. But reading your poem tonight (yes, it is still Thursday here), I had a hard time to hold these tears back. The way you take care of her...you are a saint. I do worry that this will happen to us, either me or my wife, and how will I react if it is her? Will she take care of me? I want to be able to read it again in the future, so I am making it a favorite.

Superb write Andy and yes the music fits it well - not my favourite movement but so full of pathos for this oh so sad tale.

Sensitive write Gold. Hold on in there, so you don\'t both go \'downhill\' - if it is downhill, or whatever it is. Not that your wife has \'lost her faith\' altogether\' surely.
We might all do this in some cases, sometimes in lesser troubles, just because we are fed up or something.
Then there\'s the \'Why\' or \'Whys\' of real situations, some that we can\'t answer, or not \'this side of heaven\', as they say. Thinking of you both in prayers.

WOW ANDY ~ A very challenging Message so early in the Morning ~ especially when backed by the \"Pathetique\" Recntly I have visited and prayed with \"Choice Saints\" Fumbling ~ Drizzling & Drooling\" while I held their hand ~ former intellectuals reduced to dribbling infants. They did not exactly \"blame\" God but both Harold and John asked me to pray that the Lord would \"Take them home to Heaven\" In the case of Harold my prayers have been answered ! My Prayers are with you ANDY and your lovely wife ~ AMEN ~ Your Friend Brian ~ I apologise that today my Poem (about Angela) carries a message the is the opposite of Yours B.

To me, the big winner of changing time is the paper manufacture. Can you imagine all the schedule should be re-printed now.

Here is the solution, Goldfinch: Move to Hawaii. We do NOT change the time. On the other hand, we always have to keep in mind the changing time differences with places where they DO change the time.
I really like your poem! As Einstein said, time is relative! :-)
