Poem -
HE STANDS LIKE A STONE
When the hard times force his feet to dance to its tune,
He stands firm like a sumo wrestler, refusing to go down.
He knows he cannot choose what time gives,
But he can decide to stand like a stone.

I guess this poem us about all those people, or maybe just one person you know about, who have faced adversity in their lives but have not let it define them. Could be physical, could be mental. We have one such who died this week in England. Rob Burrow. This poem would suit how he chose not to let MRD define him.
"He knows he cannot choose what time gives." Such a great line that says so much in 8 words. None of us can.
This is for him or for her who i’ve never met (like Burrow), sorry to hear that. You have a great sensibility, Bernie, that’s what makes us human.
Thank you Bernadette. That means a lot to me.
Hello Bernadette...

Life is all about choices isn't it .. made me think about this universal law and the consequences of making either the write or the wrong ones, if there ever is such a thing .. Neville
