Hi NELA, Phill Williams, TIGLK, easybeat, Tenement Funster and keepitreal ...... thank you all so much for you feedback on my poem and mostly for your understanding and heartfelt thoughts to me ......... brought a tear to my eye reading them. This is such a terrible disease that robs people of their precious memories and life. My thoughts go out to you too TF, your father and family. As Phill said, as they try to find a cure for this, one day hopefully they will.

Topic: Hey Mum (12 replies, posted in Poems)
Are thoughts Poems?
HEY MUM
Hey Mum
Just wanted to say
I love you
No matter what
Each and every day
You can`t help it
Nature taking its course
I don`t know what else to say
I wish I could pause it
Stop it from happening
I feel helpless to help in this
It seems unstoppable
All I can do now
Is remember for you
The good times and bad
Present and past
I don`t understand
I know you don`t either
This terrible disease
Called dementia
I wish I could take you back
My strength, my Mentor, my Mother
To that place where you knew
That place where you remembered
One thing I will always remember Mum
you were always there for me
I just pray God that in these days
I can be there for you

Great song ..... love the whole way you have performed, sung and written it. I tried to have a go at it on my guitar......i didn`t do it any justice as my guitar playing lets me down big time.

Hi everyone,
Just back from a lovely long holiday, now ready to get back into song writing (or attempted song writing) and making some music.
Have been trying to catch up on some of the new stuff Chordians have been writing, or performing on Sound Cloud..... some great stuff out there and wow, heaps to catch up on.
Really like the look of this new setup for Chordie .... well done to those who were involved, great job, gets a big thumbs up from me

Everyone: liking all the photos ... great to see you all in action with guitars

Re: Chordie Changes... PHOTO CONTEST (67 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
mekidsmom ..... there is my sound cloud photo you are welcome to use for ukulele if that is any good to you. I will have a hunt and see what else i have but most of my ukulele photos are large groups of people who dont even come on chordie. I will check it out and see what i can find. I have no idea how to post a photo on chordie either by the way.

Look after yourself Bill as well as Dondra and you are doing a wonderful job looking after your precioius lady
