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.

I grew up in Arizona so I never had to deal with the time change until I joined the Navy... Thirty years later, I still think it\'s stupid.

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! :-)

Time ... a fluid and fabricated construct of this world. Well expressed here, Goldie!
I love the Salvador Dali art piece on Time. One of my favorites of his.

When God created Planet Earth as a suitable habitat for Homo Sapiens Sapiens ~ He also provided Times & Seasons ~ Day & Night and Spring ~ Summer ~ Autumn ~ Winter. Man introduced the division of Day & Night into 24 hours and each hour into 60 minutes and each minute in 60 seconds ~ very non-metric ! This was to enable us to time Football Matches etc and to time records for the Olympic Games. Springing forward an hour in the Spring ~ technically makes it lighter for kds going to School in the morning ~ so we have to Fall back an hour in the Fall (AUTUMN) to balance the books. For the Ancients who still rise and fall according to the Sun 6 am (up with t\'Sun to milk our cows) is now 5 am ~ OK However if you\'ve adjusted your TEASMADE (we know you\'ve got one !) to BST then you will have to smoulder in the PIT for an extra hour. Another example of trying to alter God\'s plan and reaping a whirlwind ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN

THANKS ANDY ~ Real life is always better than fiction When I was doing Research (Biochemistry) I had a card on my bench saying \"Prayer changes things\" My Professor asked me if I prayed about the Project ? I said yes in Biochemistry we are only thinking God\'s thoughts after Him ! We had been stuck on a crux in the synthesis of a natural product (an organic molecule). I prayed hard that night and the very next day I found the answer in an Obscure Indian Chemical Journal which enabled the synthesis to move forward ! My Supervisor was delighted and his comment was \"You must have really prayed hard last night !\" AMEN ! Yours BRIAN

I too once managed rental properties, and can relate to your poem first-hand. Had a tenant move in and promptly die, before paying his rent! A true \'dead-beat\' one could say. Good write, Goldie!

Oh lol, good write Gold. That\'s very inconvenient, one popping their clogs when the rent\'s due!
Also, got to be careful with friends we may only remember at Christmas. If too far away to visit, etc, we may hear \'Oh they\'ve gone; they passed away years ago\'. Well, if no-one informs us, how shall we know if they\'ve passed on?
