Harry Report 13 Feb 2013 14:23

I know poems are not popular, but this might explain our position, and hopefully contain a bit of good advice.

TIME AND TIDE.

Half a century since we bought our house,
Which was standing all forlorn;
Loves young dreamers came along,
And a happy home re-born.

Nature blessed us with two fine boys,
And our wishes all came true;
Both lovingly raised to man-hood,
Then to seek out pastures new.

Darby and Joan left in residence,
Bond even stronger now;
Golden years spent together,
Three decades did God allow.

The dear lady is in a nursing home,
It seems a bell will toll;
Sans mother and her children,
The old house has lost its soul.

What was once a place of laughter,
Sadly now a place to mourn;
But new young dreamers will come along,
And a happy home re-born.

This is not a tale of sadness,
It's the world since time began;
Dear reader, heed the old advice,
Gather rose-buds while you can.

Thank you for reading. Happy days

How lovely that is Harry! And how true.

And of all the times, it is most poignant for me just now.
On Monday of this week the sale was completed on my parents' house - 50 years ago, to the month, they bought it.
Mum's gone into a Home and the house sale will pay for her care. It's been a very sad time for me and my brother having cleared out 50 yrs worth of our childhood and early adult memories. A young couple with baby has bought it, and I am sure they will make a lovely home for themselves and the next generation/s. As you say Harry, ' a happy home re-born'.
