As you go through life
Looking at people
What do you imagine
That they imagine?
Do you look at some
And think that nothing
Nothing will come from them?
Do you look at others
With great expectations?
Sometimes you are surprised,
As those of whom you imagine
That nothing will come from,
Will do the things,
That nobody could imagine.

I have come to learn that most people have some hidden talent. A few have an exceptional talent. Alan Turing was one of those. Code breaker and father of computer science. He had a tragic death. Thank you for remembering him and for sharing a lovely piece of music Andy.
Very true Cassie, some people do surprise us with what they know.

A fine write Gold.
That saying reminds me a bit of the yesterday / today / tomorrow saying.
What was it again, for the umpteenth time? lol.
Today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday.

It's often a game of chance.
It may well be 2781 but some know more than we realise.

Some people, like some events are too big and too important to ever be forgot .. Turing is a fine example
Very true Neville, thank you.

So true Thad, thank you.

Wonderfully stated, we do tend to judge a book by it's cover, possibly never knowing the value that it contains. I saw Imitation Game for the first time several years ago, and before that I'd never heard the name Alan Turing. He fascinated me and I couldn't read enough about him after that. Great write my friend!
He was a very clever man and brought a lot to us with his knowledge. Thank you Bella.
