Adversity Acrostic.

Goldfinch60



Acting as though all is right,

Deceiving all that see him

Viewing this man of smiles,

Ever thoughtful to others.

Racked with pain within,

Seeing his life in tatters

In the way he walks the streets,

Treading the path to oblivion,

Yet unseen by those who could care.

    a fine write Gold. We may reply that we're Ok, when we're not. There can be various reasons - we don't know the person well enough; we have not got time to give them all the details; would they stop and chat if we said we're not OK?; etc.

      So true Orchi, we do not know what goes on in many peoples minds.

        And - who knows what goes on in people's minds when I begin it song? Or what they thought in 1066?

          Hello Goldfinch60,

          A most excellent write.

          Adversity we all encounter it. It is how we deal with it that marks out our true strength as a human being and character.

          Keep writing FineB

            Thank you FineB, most kind.

            Good Evening UNCLE ANDY ~ The Subjects of DESTINY & ADVERSITY are apposite for us today (However we love Verdi & Acrostics ~ so both were Silver Linings !) We are busy with planning a Wedding (which could now talke place in La Catederal de Sevilla !) and Angela has today interviewed her SIX Trainee Physios (4 F & 2 M) who she will be instructing & assessing for the next 12 months in *Hands on PHYSIO !* They have done a YearsTheory & *Clinical Observation*. She obtained her Training Diploma in NZ and will start work next week on a Higher Grade. She is very academic & ambitious so starting a Family (2022 ?) will be a big decision ! I am in the final Year with my Path Lab Technicians who will have very responsible Jobs when they qualify. All in Merits & Distintions so far ~ AMEN. Loved the Video & the very balanced ACROSTIC ~ Thanks for sharing !

            Blessings to YOU & JOYCE
            Love ANGELA & BRIAN
            🧡💙🧡💙🧡

            The numbers that wears such masks is increasing expotentially, as the technology is isolating us even more.
            It's just easier to wear the mask....

            • Goldfinch60

              So very true Suresh, we all wear masks in different situations.

              I like the word..

              I dont like the reality of it

              I like the way you make it fit...

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you Neville, the reality is awful, we must try and drive it from our lives with the good things that are out there.
