Re:
Hi Shobana the first poems or whatever are on disks when I can find them the second is red hot sometimes. And in answer to your question. Yes as you know sometimes painfully and it takes courage not to grow bitter. To-days Lesson.

Hi Wiley I just remembered the old man and his wife reared my Dad until about four years because his mother died at his birth.

Re: CC, we had a huge garden filled w Potatoe plants & beans.Daddy the gardiner
Would you believe it dsm I knew a family they grew beans the shelled type and shelled them to use through the Winter, I don't know if it was a taste acquired by necessity but they always tasted mousy to me. I hope that you have retained your Dad's expertise.

I could relate to you there, I left school early on after the 8th grade, and that was a nice description of love and learning between father and son.

I liked the poems very much CC. How lovely to reminisce your childhood and the things that fathers teach sons. Outstanding. The second poem is sweet. always something in a face of the one you love clicks yes?.

Your Boyhood poem was outstanding! It took in a lot but I could visualize it all! And such a precious close on the second poem! We had a dusting of snow on the mountains but thankfully the valley stayed warm enough! sam
