Hi Jets,

Lovely song as always. From a womans view. Growing up takes a lot of understanding.

Wonderful most of the time. Mind bending some of the time. Frustrating a little of the time.

But life is life , We makes the choices that gives us the life we have.
Im positive you and your wife have equipted her well.

I hope your girl has a real real good life. Best wishes to her.

Marcalan,

I have to agree, There is no policital Correctness in being down and out.
Hunger and survival is a daily prayer for some. We also have it here.

I do feel Americans are not blind to this. There good at calling a spade a spade. Well the ones i know here on chordie are not afraid to speak out.

Its a well written song with pride for your land and people. Never any shame in thoses feelings.

Dia Linn to you and all who share your homeland.

Old Doll.

I reckon your house is  a good place to be.

You always seem so happy. So keep rocking Daddy. Have you this on my space ?

Good Morning Rock Doc,

Heres a poem  for you from the wonderful  Mr Poe.

A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?


Warm Hugs to you Docs

From the Emerald,

Old Doll.

So Very well done Jerome,

I had never heard of Mann Gulch. I Googled it. I had a ariel view of the place. It looks such a pretty place,
I also learned that Rufus Robison, and Earl Cooley were the first 2 smoke jumpers. I then read your piece again.

I actually felt scared for them, maybe because i seen my own sister being burned in a fire many moons ago as kids.

She survived Thank God.     I have learned a lot from your piece. So thank you!

Your Dad  and all of those men would be so proud of your work here.

You did them proud.

Old Doll.
