A poem we can all relate to. So often, you brilliantly put into words what we are feeling so deeply and cannot express. Thank you, Ivor! ❤️
Oh, Sir Frankie is looking very ponderful…all business…I wonder what he was thinking about. (??)

PS…a quote just came to my mind…
“(Always) shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” – Norman Vincent Peale
We may never know the good that comes because we dream big, try hard, expect much, keep positive (etc.)! 🙂

Loved Uriah Heep! Your words speak to the heights not attained, for whatever reason. I realize we have so much that has progressed, but it certainly feels like we have not. Well said, Ivor!
