We had an ex-military type Vicar, though middle-aged. Not really stiff upper lip, though at his farewell sermon (valedictory) he said \'Look onwards and upwards!\'

My comments on the poem “Time Is Like A River” by Goldfinch60
Amazing poetry here ! You notice the similarities between running time and the flowing water of the river. Both go in one direction and never come back. They cannot be held back. If running water is held back, it will work its way round the obstacle. Similarly, no one can hold time back.
Reminds me of the words of Robert Burns :
“But pleasures are like poppies spread ---
You seize the flower, the bloom is shed;
Or like snow falls in the river ---
A moment white, then melts forever.”
--Robert Burns (1749-1796)
Snow melts forever; time disappears forever. We poets are aware of that. That is why we leave back our messages, our legacies in writing.
Keep writing !.... Soman Ragavan. 25 June, 2024.

I\'ve often thought of the life of a raindrop. From it\'s beginning to its journey to the ground. Somewhat thought provoking. Thank you Andy 😁👍

My mother used to bake cookies and set them on brown paper to cool. My father would snitch one and move the others to seem as though none were missing but the brown paper always gave him away with the stain. Good write Gold
