[Hes]

Seven pounds six ounces
Bundle of snugglyness
Dad loves him and Mum


This one's for Mrs H: -

Christy Moore - Voyage

I am a sailor, you're my first mate
We signed on together, we coupled our fate
Hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail
For the hearts treasure, together we set sail

With no maps to guide us we steered our own course
Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force
Sat out the doldrums in patience and hope
Working together we learned how to cope

Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled water that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now gathered round us, we have our own crew

Together we're in this relationship
We built it with care to last the whole trip
Our true destination's not marked on any charts
We're navigating to the shores of the heart

Close your eyes, listen to the lyrics, and if a tear comes to your eye, you'll know exactly how wonderfully happy I am at the moment.

That's wonderful news! Congratulations HHH. The Christy Moore is a beautiful tribute to Mrs HHH too, it made me cry, I do hope she is well and recovering quickly. xxx

p.s. I love the idea of the Fell Poets Society. Definately worth progressing.

Southern Softie this is wonderful!!!! I agree OW, last line for first night of the Fell Poet's society!!!

A few of Omar Khayyam's Quatrains. Found this book rummaging through a load of stuff my Nan was going to jumble sale for Cancer Research. Judged it by its cover - a lovely old (1898) guilded hardback - and wasn't disappointed.

Has a wonderful sense of embracing the present; with talk of wine, women and song. This is a whole book of the stuff! What a guy!

Behold, the dawn arises.
Rejoice in the present moment with a cup of crimson wine in your hand.
As for honour and fame, let that brittle glass be dashed to pieces against the earth.

The march of springs and autumns sweep the leaves from our life's tree.
Drink wine, friend, for the wise have wisely said,
"Life is a poison, and wine its antidote."

Give me a jug of wine, a book of verses, a loaf of bread, and a little idleness.
If with such store I might sit by your dear side in some lonely place, I should count myself happier than a king in his kingdom.

tonight's effort....

30 minutes snap(ish)
Moon peeps
O'er sea and sands

Revellers abound
Light of foot
Before heavy of claret!

Have a lovely night y'all
