harry hayes Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Think most of you know my wife is extremely ill. This poem is a bit serious - a more light hearted one to follow (if you don't laugh, you.....) TIME AND TIDE. Half a century since we bought our house, Which was standing all forlorn; Loves young dreamers came along, And a happy home re-born. Nature blessed us with two fine boys, And our wishes all came true; Both lovingly raised to man-hood, Then to seek out pastures new. Darby and Joan left in residence, Bond even stronger now; Golden years spent together, Three decades did God allow. The good lady is in a nursing home, It seems a bell will toll; Sans mother and her children, The old house has lost its soul. What was once a place of laughter, Sadly now a place to mourn; But new young dreamers will come along, And a happy home re-born. This is not a tale of sadness,. It's the world since time began; Dear reader, heed the old advice, Gather rose-buds while you can. -------------------------------------------- Thank you for reading. Happy days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
