It is amazing to watch progress slowly change the landscape around me as I get older with Schools, Pubs etc. being demolished and all manner of countryside being built upon not always I think for the better.

Lost History
We just sit and watch it
As our history disappears
Things we take for granted
Fall around our ears
Buildings that we’ve cherished
With stories in their walls
Tumble like confetti
As progress makes her call
Nothing it seems is sacred
As futures weave their spell
With no regard to yesterday
Or things we’ve loved so well
Perhaps we’ll take a photo
Before there gone for good
Like tree that’s in a forest
Is it really only wood

Magic in a Cuddle

There is magic in a cuddle

There is joy within a smile

It’s nice to drink in laughter

If only for a while

So cherish every moment

Of things that come your way

For life can be so fleeting

And we never count our days

So breathe in every second

And dance inside its charm

Then try to be that person

That gives out love and calm

The one that lights a room up

And greet each day with glee

As you travel on your journey

To a place that you should be

That little piece of heaven

That’s yours and yours alone

A haven of forgiveness

That only you can own

Idle Thoughts 6

To remember that first excitement of smelling flower you have grown from seed

Is to become a child again…

Looking through binoculars the wrong way

Is how most people see the world…

Driving at the speed limit now

I have become a moving chicane…

Just because the speedometer says a car can go at 100 miles an hour

Does not mean you are impelled to go at that speed…

Human nature never really gives value

To anything we appear to get for free

Until we lose it…

Thought to Ponder – Just remember, once you’re over the hill you begin to pick up speed.- Arthur Schopenhauer
