Eternity Begun

hi amy,

you don't get to my age with out knowing grief!

my holy trinity; my grandmother, mary-ellen (WRITTEN ABOUT SEVERAL TIMES), mabel (my mother) and dolly (my god-mother) 3 strong and loving women, all no longer with us, i miss them all and think about them as often as i can. i do believe that as long as you keep someone alive in your mind they may die but they never fade away....silly but that's how i feel.
my pillar now is ann my wife and my daughter gemma, they keep me grounded.
there are many others too, my father, my mate dai (david) and so many others, all passed. we will all meet again on the other side.

i haven't tried to put this to music yet....when i get time, i'll let you know.

hi lena,

thank you for your kind words. mekidsmom inspired me to write this, but i used my own experiences of life and death in the content. i also had thoughts of you as i've noticed that you've had more than your fair share of grief in the last couple of years.

i've just completed a recording of this, which i'm reasonably happy with, and i'll post it asap.

i wrote it as a poem....but you know how things can change?

hi neil, your poems are great, but you should start your own thread, that way people will look at your work in it's own right and hopefully comment and give you tips.

if your not sure how to do that; at the top of the page is a button that says"start a new subject" click there and a dialog box will appear same as a comment box) enter your poem here. click submit (or preview if you'd like to check your work). your poem will then magically appear with your name to give you credit.

hope this helps. keep on with the writing

                    Gods give you mind not to judge but to understand!!!!!

Niel, you sign yourself out with the word "respectfully", however you have shown no respect at all to Phill.

You were politely asked to post your poems in their own topic and you chose to pollute Phill's thread with three more poems of your own. You were also advised that writing in capital letters is the written equivalent of shouting and considered to be both rude and bad manners, this you also deliberately ignored.

Do you really want to be welcomed into Chordie and your work to receive acclaim on it's own merit? If so you need to mend your ways.

As to the quality of your work. I for one have not bothered to read any one of your poems and will not do so until your attitude changes.

Old Doll... he did record this as a song... it's on his MySpace!    It's just wonderful too!

Its a lovely recording Phil.

I very much enjoyed it. I also had another wee listen to Old Blues song. I always liked that song  sooo much.

I never know why it holds a feeling of nostalgia for me !

Both excellent !

Old Doll.
