Not everyone forgets the festive period can be one of pain for many Neville, but most do. Bit I did notice the food bank trolleys in the supermarkets were fuller than normal. Perhaps a little guilt at the excesses of the season. If only we could harness that into year long giving, there would be no more need for food banks.
Very well stated Sir.

[Neville]

you my fine friend and brother are a true gentleman.. I will unreservedly drink to that end.... Neville x

[Cherrie Palmer]

Amen to that Neville
Excellent poem and
A prayer well said

[Neville]

why thank you my dear Cherrie.. always and muchly appreciated x

[Cherrie Palmer]

I lost my dad as a young teen and it's a hard transition to make. For me the need to make it easier for my mother gave me purpose.

[Neville]

an understandable motivation my friend and true x

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Beautiful- the pain kids carry we sometimes forget they are human as well no matter how old or young- if only it was so easy-id say one prayer and heal the world...🌹

[Neville]

Thank you my dear Thoughts in Time.. yes I would too.. and strange as it may sound, I often perform what we call an embu.. which is a moving prayer and for similar reasons.... N :)

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

May two prayers be joint as one- breakthrough beyond understanding🌹

[Neville]

Yeah.... Amen x

This is wonderful poignant piece of writing. The child is still buried within each of us and we rarely resurrect our younger self. There are however some events which are hard to include in that scheme like the loss of a parent. It takes me right back to when as young children we were taught to say our nightly prayers.God bless Neville!
Cheers, Alan

[Neville]

and Bless you Alan my dear friend and true....many thanks for checking in and taking time to consider these words... N

Yes, let's think of the many who won't be having a good time. Those who haven't got a home, those who can't afford to give their family a decent Christmas, bereaved children, abandoned men, women and children, old people on their own, the sick and anyone else I haven't thought of. Spare a thought for them. Neville that looks like a proper address. I am wondering whether you are thinking of your Dad?

Chris

[Neville]

I shall drink to all of those & more... bless ya our Chris.. yes.. very nearly a proper address etc.. but I aint quite that daft yet.. maybe :) x

[Chris Shaw]

You've got me laughing. There was me thinking I could pay you a surprise visit :))

[Neville]

welcome any time & true...

[R J Askew]

A true prayer, intimate and personal, with a twist of wit to taste. Merry Xmas, dear sir.

[Neville]

Back at ya Ron.. and the very best for 2019
