Congratulations Joe and Kim.  AS a father of three girls myself, it is a joy like no other joy. You are blessed as I was.   I also must say however that Joe, " the odds are never in your favor" in a house full of women !

Congrats again and enjoy - time goes by so quickly.

hahahaha   Good one Graham

there were a couple of places of anticipated obvious  rhyme that would fit, but you didn't which made it great! Kudos to you and your wife !!

Phill,

I like it a lot.  I was just pondering similar thoughts last weekend.  I was thinking of retiring after 37 years of teaching and coaching. And then I thought, holy crap all my friends that retired just a few years ago, it's like they never existed in the school. The same is true of another friend that retired from his job in an industrial tech setting, he went back to visit and he told me he felt like an alien from outer space.   Seems that everybody( especially today's youngsters)  hurries on by with their lives, and the new is ushered in without consideration.  I certainly realize that we all have created unknown shade trees which others have had the pleasure of sitting under through out lives, and we should take pride and solace in that,  but it does seem that today's world is so rapid and  self-serving, that the older generations are being swept under the rug , albeit unintentional, way too quickly. 
Anyway, Phill - this is a very well written poem expressing many thought provoking and somewhat  anguishing sentiments.

Well done my friend across the pond!

Jim

Totally agree - KW is an idiot.

Jeez Louise Dino !!!!   Nice sound - you looked so relaxed and comfortable !!   Wish I could play like that !!

Thanks for sharing - new Les Paul  = Very nice diggs !!

Mine is my little Martin custom x   Acoustic electric, although I usually use my Alvarez RD-20SC to write most of my songs.

I am saving my money now - I saw in the news from NAMM that epiphone is coming out with a Gary Clark,Jr casino blu hollowbody this spring I am just hoping its not out of the $$$$ possibility for me.

Graham,
That is awesome -  the perfect voice for that song !! Great guitar playing as well. You embodied it perfectly with emotion.  Thank you so much !!

Jim

Thank you all for your kind words of support.  This is a link to soundcloud where you can hear my song.  I apologize for the singing and playing, I'm not very good. I do think the lyrics are very full of emotion however. It's funny- in my mind, when I play it and just sing inside my head, it sounds so beautiful, I can see the story unfold right in front of me but when I actually sing it, it well.... it loses some of it's abilities to move me... you'll hear

If any Chordians with a good voice want to cover and inject their own slant or interpretation, please have a go at it and send me a copy ! 

Thanks again !
Jim
