It was murky on the Dyke today
and you could not see far
which really was a pity as
the view’s spectacular
You’ll have to take my word for that
because the picture shows you nowt
of what Sussex has to offer
and what the Weald is all about
Poems, poets, poetry, writing, poetry challenges
Got the text on Monday morning
best news I have had
as today in just a little while
I’ll have had the job
And yes, we’ll still be careful
but if you need a thing
to put a smile upon your face
and give you cause to sing
Then this is up there at the top
of all the things to give
Something truly wonderful
allowing all to live
Look at me now Pops, I’m an older man now
I’m past sixty, the years have flown by
That slap in the face
has long turned to grace
yet still on this day I will cry
Nineteenth of February nineteen seventy-four
etched in my mind for all time
The day that you left
leaving family bereft
although all these years later we’re fine
By Charles Robert Lindholm
Every night I count my blessings
and I‘m thankful for each one
’cause I know I‘ve not been promised
I‘ll see the rising sun
Every moment is so precious
every day is special too
but the memories that I treasure most
have all been made with you
You are the love I‘ve longed for
You are my dream come true
and I know each day
that I am Blessed
when I wake up next to you

The First Sunrise Of January
Always Leaves Me Wondering
What Lies Ahead
Just Out Of Sight
Over The Horizon
In My Tomorrows
And Then It Leads My
Mind Back Over The
Last Year And
Way Back When Too
Recalling
Moments And Memories
And What If’s And
Might Have Beens
Things That Never Were
But Could Have Been
And The Happiness
That Was And
The Blessings
That I Have
Regrets
And Bittersweet
Memories Escape
Their Cell
Deep In My Heart
On The First
Sunrise Of January
Before Being
Escorted Away
Sometimes The Heart
And Soul
Need To Reflect,
Remember And Wonder,
So They Will Be
More Grateful,
And Happy During
The Coming Year
The First Sunrise Of January
Is The Demarcation,
The Ending And Beginning,
One Year Passing Away Into History
As The New Year Is Born
The First Sunrise Of January
Is The “First Time”
You Get To Make An X
On The New Year’s Calendar

MY CHRISTMAS WISH

As I make my wishes for Christmas 2018 – the best gift after a wish for world peace and the love of my soulmate and family is for a lifetime of friendship with you!!!
WISHING YOU THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL – SPENDING CHRISTMAS WITH THE ONES YOU LOVE
By Charles Robert Lindholm
Life Is So Fast Paced
Anymore
And Time Seems So
Fleeting
With Us
Rushing Around
In Our Own
Little Whirlwinds
The Roses
Go Unsmelled
Along With The Coffee,
Too
We Are Always
Leashed Up
To Electronics
And The Whole
Wide World
Around Us
While The Important
And The Lovely
Are Left Unattended
And Not Admired
I Want To Stop
Our World
From Spinning
Around Us
In A Vortex
I Need To
Hold You
In My Arms
And Look
Into Your Eyes
For You Are
My Anchor,
You Are My World
And All That
Really Matters
To Me
We Need To
Protect
The Shangri La
Of Us
So We Can
Grow Old
Together
And Still Be
In Love

A really fitting ending
to what has been a perfect day
and as golden sun sinks in the west
Dubrovnik has its say
We wandered ‘neath the city walls
enjoying lovely heat
had cold beers and lovely
giant ice-creams in the street
We discovered lovely places
we had not found before
and took photos to remember
all the wonders that we saw
The peace and
contentment of Tawny Wood
In our Scandinavian chalet
has been really lovely
We’ve all had a blast
Down in Sandy Balls Valley
We’ve walked with alpacas
stood in the rain
Watched as the sun came out bright
Wandered the woods
Looked up at the trees
with evident nature in sight
