Oh look!
Another Christmas present.
It’s a little late
But still much appreciated,
It’s from my granddaughter.
It is a picture,
A picture that shows
She knows me so very well.
It shows my daily schedule
The one that is now my life,
My life that has changed
Now my lover has passed on.
But this new chapter is getting better
As my day can be filled
With the life
My granddaughter sees,
Sees for me.
Eight in the morning – coffee.
Nine in the morning,
‘til five in the afternoon – croquet.
Six in the evening – Happy hour.
What better way could I have
In spending my day.

Oops. picture at 90 degrees
May the weather be optimum for your activities sir.
(Where's the 'now write a poem' section?).
Unfortunately we are not allowed to play croquet at the moment.
The 'write a poem' can be found within any of the other sections.

Good write Gold.

In England now , it's no longer 'Jolly hockey sticks!', it's now 'Great croquet mallets!', is it? I'd never have guessed.

Strangely Dave I used to play hockey in my younger days but now this old codger cannot run any more so a gentle stroll around the croquet lawn is fine.

Nice life Andy.👍🏼🥳
Tank you John it certainly is.

Time: as kind, as it is brutal
the small hand 'ticks', churning
those 'what if' regrets
to foster a bitterness towards old age,
the big hand, 'gongs'
and shudders heart's
with timely interventions
like a simple present, gift wrapped
with that 'skippity' glint
of youth's revitalising fingers
delivered by your grandchild's
adoring eyes...
thanks for inspiring my little reply Andy,
a warming antidote read to this grey Winter days you've shared,
though I must say your schedule seems jampacked, don't forget to stop for lunch my friend,
Thank you Mek, time is kind to me. When my children and grandchildren ask me what I want for birthdays etc my answer is always "Your time."
