As days go by, what will I remember?
Soft and shallow goals,
Of wishes unfulfilled?
Or kind and gentle hands,
Family, friend, and kin.
Something that popped into my head after reading this.
You make valid points. Family, the ones you choose to have and the ones that despite being thrust upon you, fill your heart are the true joys in life. Time wears away all things. Only through family does anything worthwhile ever last.
My god, you just impressed me more then you already had. Such an intresting format, so personal. I love the incorporation of the pictures. It makes the poem that much more meangiful. Truly this is a work foa rt.
what a great bunch of pictures and thoughts my friend.. they remind me of my own family and three of my brothers stationed in germany when they were in the army, one of them with a young blonde wife and new baby as well.. you so have your heart in the right place buddy.. and we are all blessed to have you with us here at our humble little cafe..
This was a fantastic poem and a fantastic read. It makes you think and question, what in life is the most important? What should you appreciate the most?
Beautiful thoughts shared that show a great depth of knowing what is truly important in life! The Truths living life fully! I Like the pictures incorporated in the write! Showing visually all the love in Family, and “family of Friends”. Even in “war” you speak of the fact that in living in kindness, and love is what truly matter in life, and those that are a part of the living shown therein! Your work is full of wisdom gleaned along the way. Another inspiriting read my Friend! ~ :-)
