Last night was a night full of memories
Going off to set a fire and play in the sea
Under the stars we sat with a violin & guitar
Two fireman came to check someones concerns
After radioing back reporting to was nothing but common sense
We continued with warming sandy toes into the next day
The boys used their built-in fire extinguishers, just for fun
As we smothered the last flames with stones knowing the tide will finish up
Strolling back past midnight all roads peaceful and safe
In the nocturnal hour nature sets us a different pace
Seeing life in the dark & the light
Showing all things have a place
When we slow down and listen
Giving the gifts we never had
This to me is being a parent
Memories fade in accessories
Nothing can be held out of a dream
I look forward to taking this life with me

A fine write Dan.
Thank you my lovely
'Giving the gifts we never had'
Those gifts were growing inside waiting for the day you were brave enough to realise what they are and generous enough to give away.

Thank you my friend it has been a strange week, I came off my bike and things fell like they have reset again. Although I can post every poem I've done but not the one on that day..... Strange?
Life is riddle...
We all have our own path through life. Each will have rewards, pitfalls and set backs. Patience and steadfastness are the assets in our personal make up which see us through. Love of course is our guide.
Dan,
Onward and upward...
is the way to go! You’ve embarked on a wonderful personal journey!
Kudos 👏🏼

It's had some downs and for some reason I can post about that, so the universe or this site wants me to keep this vibration higher...
Always appreciate your time
May that fine life be always with you and you sail towards the light.
I had a fall last week but I'm still sailing strong, always appreciate your words of support.
Road ahead, yours to travel
Much ahead, waiting for you
I shall skip along keep sing my song!
Always appreciated my friend
