Hi Phil Williams,
This song reminds me of the park where i walk my dogs.
A real old Couple walk there! Very slowly i might add. I ofton speak to them.
They hold hands always.
I never see there hands as old. When i speak to them, i always see there hands as young hands. Its so lovely to do that with older people. Look beyond the age.. I hope i never see this man alone on a bench in the park!
I know the words of your song will sing in his head.

Lovely topic.

Thank You.

Old Doll.

James McCormick!
How could you! Im really tired tonight, and your talking about Gravity!

Last weeK It was the Other Old Doll Maisie" Brought tears to my eyes.
Tonight its Gravity? Well now James that is a word that woman of my age
know so well!
Theres only one way to prove it to you but! This would
probably give you a heart attack. Your wife and family need you! Your
students need you! We  need you here! so James your just gonna have to believe me...  Gravity? I prefer the words Au Natural!:lol:
Good one James.

Wheres me old Segosha Badeye when i need him? More panels please Son!

WeeJie,

Re! Phil Williams.!  My comment was never meant to deflate you! In actual fact One word "Orphan" in your song
connected me to The one i posted from you tube. I am so long singing and  learning songs, its impossible for me
not to connect them.
Weejie i can assure you this WAS meant as a compliment. I read nearly everything  in the" Song Writing section"

If i was only here to deflate  you  or anyones work. Then i reckon  im a very sad case indeed!   Weejie! only i know in this situation this is not  true. I always write honestly whats in my head. " Gosh why do  i feel like i am defending
myself here"
I guess when you put the melody to your song it will be unique! For you personally, I sincerely hope its sung as long as the  old one i posted.  Dont be deflated if i or anyone else says it reminds them of another famous song.
To be  classed in the same league as famous songwriters is indeed a compliment. Be proud of all your
creative ability..There are Brilliant musicians here in chordie who have in past post said "They wouldn't even know
where to start with writing a song. I do try to  encourage people in all walks of life "You weejie are no exception!

Sincerely,

Old Doll.

Prezzie. Bless them!

I had picked 3 i really liked! Tanglewood-Heritage superfolk.
849 euro, on sale.

Martin 000 x-1  600 euro on sale.

Taylor 114E  899 euro also on sale.

This last one i only played today as i was in the city, shopping like there was no tomorrow. 3 beautiful sounding guitars.

I come home this evening and low and behold. My first christmas Present
not wrapped with a big red bow attached.

A Yamaha semi acoustic fx37oc from a friend. Its a beauty. beautiful sound.
it just needs a better guitar player:lol:

I now have 3  beautiful guitars.  My original "A Vintage! A small Classic Herald.
and a yamaha!

Do i stick with these or what! The yamaha is so good to hold, as its much smaller then my other one!
 
So now what do i do?

Southpaw41L I have loads of shoes but i know i can only wear one pair at a time.
Its gonna be the same with the guitars!

Comments please.

Weejie,

Thank You! My beautiful Grandmother would be so pleased. I was in a restaurent some years ago. A lovely young waitress served our group.
I remarked on her name as it was Helena. She said"Her Mam called her after a lady she had worked with. On leaving the premises her Mam had callled to take her home!
Yes! i had worked with her Mam but never knew she named her Baby after me. I was as they say here "Chuffed" I very seldom hear my name anywhere.

Hi James,

This song made me shed tears. I so love dogs. Any dog lover will so
understand what a terrible decision it is to make.
My beautiful Dog as a puppy used to lie  on my bed on his back. His new paws, were like the softest italian leather. Im going all gooey even
thinking of them now!

My Border collie before these 2 spared me! She at 18 years, just had a heart attack lying at my feet one evening and died in my arms...

Is [C]mercy in the moment, . . . . is mercy in re-[F]lease
Is [C]mercy in the medicine, . . . . is mercy in the [F]grief
Is [C]mercy ever easy, . . . . is mercy bitter-[F]sweet
Is [C]mercy in the moment when the moment [G]is com-[C]plete


My other dog is gettin on and im dreading the day
i may have to make that decision.

Mercy is in the moment James, beautiful way to word it. But you and your family are still gonna cry! and why not!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful insight into this unusual Subject.

Hi Selso!

I read this song when it was first posted. I didnt comment because i could feel your pain to much. I want to shower you with understanding hugs.

We have twin girls in our family. One is gentle and quiet, the other we  call

Miss why where what when cailín { Girl }She i think is taking after this old Doll.
they are so different but so close. So i can only try imagine how you feel.

You must cry and cry some more, talk about him and some more. You will have good days but the missing never goes. on your down days write for him.

Please embrace your face in the mirror. You may look like him, but you are a separate soul... His mortal remains have been removed. His body life cloths.

His soul like yours mine and other beings on the planet , to me is a soul of loving light.
A soul is not born? So how can it die? {quote- Mary Gaulthier }

The image you knew is gone. Feel his presence, know it still. and still cry some more.
I would like you to have the Happiest Birthday  Tomorrow, as you not only celebrate your soul but his who still lives in you and all who knew him.

These words are from a very old song. I taught myself how to do this.

Selso! You can to! love and light to guide you always.

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
and be yourself for a while.

Old Doll

Thank you as always for your comments!
