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.

Cute zinger, Goldie. Don\'t know that I\'ve ever heard the Nortumbrian pipes so can\'t make the comparison.

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.

Thanks ANDY ~ Great Poem (one of your best ~ straight from your very sentimental heart) I love the register and resonance of the BONE and at the end of it all ~ I was crying too ! I have mentioned that i give talks on Jim Reeves ~ Nat King Cole ~ Dean Martin ~ Glen Millar ~ Bing Crosby etc to Pensioners Groups (65 +) and when I have finished there is not a dry eye in the House ~ Music always invokes memories ~ some Happy but often Sad ones because of Loss of Loved One ! Orange FORSYTHIA is ubiquitous ! Orange is a very powerful colour ~ a combination of RED for Passion and YELLOW for Happiness. In my experience~ only very very Special Ladies can justify wearing ORANGE ! Yours BRIAN

As dads, all we can do is be there for them as they make their way through life, making the mistakes that come with gaining wisdom. Kudos on this fine presentation that expresses it so well, Goldie!
