Ahhh, Daddycool,

I know i know. Its the hardest grief losing parents and loved ones. I spoke to my younger brother in Cork last week. He barely remembers our Da. Our dad died so young... I felt sad for him as i have so many many memories being the oldest girl.. I rooted out old photos of my brother fishing with our Da on holidays before he [ Da ] passed to send him.. They may just trigger some memories.

Lovely heartfelt piece Daddy.

Stay cool.

Hello Ray,

I was just having a quick gander here before retiring.

This is a dark piece, but so well written . I love dogs, but i could imagine a fearsome dark beast  while reading this.
Unfriendly yes, snapping at your heals yes, dragging you down to every dark stagnant pool he can muster  to drown the life from you.. Yes, i knew this dog at times in my own life. Its well muzzled now but his fear remains  away in the shadows somewhere.

Start Journaling every day, first thing in the morning if you can.. Theres not a better way to start the day clearing mind clutter. It doesnt have to be pages, just one page is ofton enough.
You may be surprised at how well it keeps the dog at bay.

Its an excellent piece,worth its merit on a new thread.

I wish you joy with peace of mind in abundance.

Oiche Mhait" [Goodnight }

I agree with dfoskey,

Im also amazed at the strength of this man to endure all he has..

I will do as i do for all my friends, add his name to my prayer candle.

Thine will be done not mine.

Love hugs and continued strength to your Cara { friend] Zurf.

Failte myboon,

Welcome to chordie. I've read this piece.. may i suggest you re read it lots of times.. It has the makings of a good piece
but is somewhat disjointed. A little more time spent moulding your thoughts more about it will make it shine.

Have a happy day.

Old Doll.

There's nothing like the love for another , young  or old to inspire us.
Thank you for penning the moment to share with us .

Its a sincere heartfelt musical piece.

With all due respect to all the other wonderful poets on Chordie, it's no wonder why I zero in your entries. Another splendid write, Old Doll.  May I?!

The woman and child sing in rhyme; with disregard for the sands of time
One smiles the other laughs, one touches the other feels, one peers the other sees
No need to search far to find the person we truly are
Don’t judge the bark of this aging tree; look inside to find the real me

Thank you all again for the comments..

FF, i wish i could pen like your piece..  It speaks volumes. I really love it!

Thank you and a big hug to you also.

Excellent Ray,

I to could relate to this piece. many years ago i found myself in the same situation.. It was such a shock to discover.

In my case it wasn't my doing.. I wonder where peoples "Cop on" disappear to with credit cards. Its invisible money your spending, but still your money with astronomical interest.. Credit cards make it to easy to purchase stuff people  don't need.
Deal  only with hard cash" is my motto, Its one way of knowing what money you have or haven't.
In saying that ! I do use them to book holidays , or bigger items more for security reasons.. Its always  paid within the stated times, with no huge interest. I'm sure I'm not there favorite customer.

T'is  a strong well written understandable piece of work, which most people will relate to..

Well done.

Old Doll.

Well done as always.

Marcalan,

I can understand why your upset. Your a long time posting here here on chordie.. I feel you put this piece in chat   to provoke  discussion about Abby Sunderland ?, the young American lady in question, whom i gather inspired the piece  of writing ?.. Your intention unfortuately has been misunderstood it appears.
Sometimes life causes more gigantic waves on land then at sea. I also know how life and events { especially with young people like "Abby Sunderland and Australia's Jessica Watson } inspire you to write about them..

I dont have any nautical experience to engage discussion here. [ Other then a rowing boat we had for years , used when taking my lads fishing . i'm sea sick as soon as i board any vessel on water.]
I do know there amazingly brave young people to undertake such a challange.

Marcalan,  Rest assured, Your post in chat may have been misunderstood. But your sincerity  when writing about life as you see it, leaves no doubt to any intelligent mind.

Love and hugs across the oceans to you.

Cairdeas .
