I was expecting All In The Family but instead was greeted by a beautiful nostalgic piece that has given me pause to reflect on my own bygone days. I enjoyed the musical flow in this piece and lingered for a while over the JD comment as he has been one of my favorite singers of all time (I sing and play his music from time to time)... those were the days, indeed!

Sometimes I just wish, even for a day, to have a 'fast rewind', to relive the happy moments :-)
This is so beautiful. Truly, it is. It makes me want to appreciate every day I have on this earth as a young woman. Can't take these things for granted!

P.S. If you wouldn't mind checking out my novel, HIM, I'd truly appreciate it. I'd like to send it off for publishing but won't until I feel I have enough feedback. I think people forget that it's 20 chapters long. Haha. Most only comment on one or two chapters. So everything in between & the ending is neglected with barely any commentary. It's kind of frustrating.

dear Dara.. holding babies until the
morning light, knowing love lingers
until the end of time and beyond...
Your poetry is touching and sublime.
truly , Pat
Those days will continue to live on within us, Dara...just as I can still hear John Denver's melodic voice!
How I wish our babies stayed babies - longer!

Ahh, seems like no matter where we are in life, there will always be those nostalgic moments that will bring our smiles and make us think that yeah- those were the days we thought would never end. :D

The days, they were. Thank you, darling Dara, for this cherished glimpse into your rear-view mirror.
I can almost hear him singing...
"Country roads, take me home - To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma - Take me home, country roads."
