New World Calls.

Goldfinch60



Exams were passed,

University place confirmed,

She was off into her world.

So much advice given her,

But the final words to her

Meant so much,

As she drove off

With those words,

Those words of her Mum

Echoing in her soul,

“Be yourself.

You are lovely”.

    This is the time when the parents feel the greatest joy and greatest worries- and the only thing they can do is to send them off with loving words like these

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Suresh, so true.

          They do melt the heart don’t they. I am sure your daughter had a wonderful send off into the world from her caring, loving Father.

            Setting them free into a world of opportunity yet knowing the greater picture is an anxious time. Best dealt with with encouragement and confidence building. Choice words from mum indeed. Happier times.

            Flugel horn first came to my attention when played alongside flute (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1wiShnu2QM) and is a delight to hear here.

            • Goldfinch60

              Encouragement and love is the best way to send them off, it seems to have worked for my kids.

              Couldn’t get that track to play will try on PC tomorrow. Great sounds from Flugelhorn horn as ever, seen it played many times in Brass Bands at Pershore Summer Brass.

              What beautiful words to hear as you go on your way to a new life etc... those words will ever be treasured.

              • Goldfinch60

                They will be Fay, thank you.

                  It is a great time for them as they go into the world with the love of parents and grandparents encouraging them.
