Mothers are irreplaceable; that's why even damaged ones are precious beyond all measure. The uphill struggle is a labour of love. My heart goes out to you Lisa.

Thank you Lisa! Although I don't quite look like that, nor do I in my previous one! I never look like myself in photos,I'm seriously unphotogenic! So I'm either prettier in life or the photographic lense don't lie and I'm just going la-la-la with my eyes and ears closed for the sake of peace of mind! Hahaha! ?
Again, lovely piece!

The young have always been part of Mother Nature's very own
form of "consumer obsolescence" plan, designed to take over from
their predecessors and improve (?) on what was achieved before.
Wasn't it Shaw who wrote that youth is wasted on the young? But
back in the day, the young from a wide range of backgrounds
faced early maturity through necessity and the alternative left them
few options if they were to survive to a complaining old age. These
paved the way for the youth of today who seem unwilling to set foot
beyond their home street, let alone their town, in the quest for a future meaningful adult life. Has the "get-up-and go" just "got up and went"? ?

The ways in which people seek refuge from a reality they seem unable to face - and their causes - can be so damaging to those
around them, most especially in a family context. These lines poignantly express the predicament and its ripple effect on others,
and most hurtful, those closest to them.

John,

Sensitively written. It nearly brought me to tears but sadly this little chap is but one of many. Not only were the onlookers wealthy westerners but people who have elected governments which do business with those who ally themselves with the evil culprits responsible for this. I am filled with a deep sense of sadness but also a mounting sense of burning anger.

Thank you for this poem and for putting it on your blog.

Keith

Thank you millions for your kind reply ?
Their are lessons to be learnt in every single situation we encounter.

If you find anything repeating itself. ' it's because the lesson was not learnt.

Humans have a built in radar that can protect us against anything that is negative. Its called our intuition.

It can prevent us from being exposed to danger and energy sucking vampires.
It will go of like a bomb when its in familiar negative situations. Pay close attention to it always.
It will help you relies who your true friends are.
Being self aware is a good starting point.
Your journey is as incredible as you wish it to be. ?

Their are many law's in the universe dear farag.
Manners are without a doubt compulsory.

The law of attraction state's that one must act in such a way in order to be treated in a way one would like.

In order to get the ball rolling alot faster is to never forget we are all the same, no matter the status. ?

Thank you mae, that comment is appreciated immensely.
I use that saying when I am not wanting drama..
It gets used quite alot in my neck of the woods. Haha..
Mainly when dealing with the kids and their arguments with pal's...

Sometimes they fight then 10 minutes later they are all best friend's again.

Hi Jason
Too facking right! ?
These days, I'm obliged to sit through nearly 2 hours of soaps every evening. The others I can cope with but truly I cannot stand Eastenders. They seem to do nothing but shout and scream and screech at each other constantly.
Sometimes I get away with putting on a Portillo Great Railway Journey. The Mammy likes his north Wales journey because towards the end I can be seen putting on a rucsac in Holyhead.

Dear Ray.....

Firstly I would like to say happy belated birthday. I hope you had a wonderful day filled with much love. May you be blessed always and may the year ahead be a spectacular one.
Thank you for your compliment and encouragement. I haven't been sharing my work for long online but what I have shared so far has come back with positive feedback and that encouragement makes all the days of my life worth it.
Inner change is definitely a miracle as it is not easy to change some ways that you have become accustomed to for so very long. Change is hard and it can be messy but it is one of the purest forms of growth.
May the wind of change be with you and may it blow softly within your life.
Keep well and take care of yourself
