This is something I wrote 2 years ago, I put it away and forgot about it. Today I came across my old book and decided it was time to put it in print.

 

 

"A Narrowing OF My Road"

 

My blog is called "The Long and Winding Road" and is a collection of my thoughts as I travel along my road (The road is "Life") We as individuals all have a road to walk, for some of us the path is flat and smooth, for others rocky and uneven.

My road began to narrow very recently! This was caused by the sad and untimely death of my Dad. A major Juncture in my life, and one that will take months if not years to comprehend.

Suddenly out of the blue my road begins to widen? A very dear friend whom I had not seen or heard of for over 20 years got in touch, a ray of sunshine to brighten a very gloomy few months.

But then like a bolt of lightening my road starts to narrow once again? My friend is diagnosed with a medical condition that requires immediate radical surgery!!!!!

The moral of this short message is : Whatever life throws your way – "YOU" have to stay strong, use your network of friends. And remember to walk with pride down that "Long and Winding Road"

Success

Success is a "Journey" and not a "Destination"

Remember those days!

 Remember those days in that old school yard?

We were young,

Innocent, bold but smart.

Days were long, and full of fun

So many memories

With lots more to come.

Classrooms were full, and never dull

Old fashioned milk bottles

The government rule.

That little glass bottle

And that long white straw

With its silver top, we all wanted more.

That yearly medical!

The nit nurses grin

Hoping your head held nothing within?

But oh how I remember, that old school yard

When the summers were long

Those times were hard.

I look back on those days

And smile with pride

Those old school days, there was nothing to hide.

Flip-flop

Flip-Flop, Flip-Flop

A shoe of comfort

Shoe or not?

Wet or dry

They mould the soul.

All colours of the rainbow

Causing damage untold.

The sun is out

Weather is warm.

These barmy days

When Flip-Flops are worn.

Hot Sun

Early morning, up it comes

bright and yellow with work to do?

Some like it hot?

Some like it cool?

The "Sun" don't care!!!!

It's just

HOT,HOT,HOT

Stay safe ALL - and enjoy it

Smell those flowers?

feel the warmth of the sun.

Tread that lush green grass

there is so much more to come?

The gate swings open

and I walk inside.

A sight to behold

and there's no where to hide.

Rows of granite, black and grey

glint in that sun that shines all day.

It's Sunday morning,a day of rest.

But,for me it's the day, I like best?

My time to say thanks for the years that he gave

When I visit the cemetary,and my dads grave.

Two years have past,your memory lives on

in the flowers,the garden in them your one?

The moment has come,I open the gate

and say goodbye,it's getting late.

Untill next Sunday the aniversary date

                                                  when I'll be back to open the gate

The Message

The mobile vibrates

and it makes it's sound.

The supermarkets full

there's people around.

Do I answer now?

or wait till later.

I grab a drink

and buy a paper.

Away from the crowd

out in the sun.

Answer the phone

it has to be done.

A great little text

from a friend far away.

And oh,how that message

brightend my day.
