I can certainly relate to this. I spend a lot of time these days remembering those good times. I certainly grateful I've come this far and am happy with what I have.

Accepting reality provides such peace of mind. On the other hand, disputing reality brings on pain. I'm so delighted you recall the good times and I hope you share many more in the future. Thank you for the review.

Shame you lost the photo. You could find another similar photo on Bing. We always remember the house we grew up in. Growing and learning with your parents sets a firm foundation for adulthood. Memories are made of this. K xx

They sure are though I sometimes think our memories just might exaggerate a little bit. Or in my case, a bloody lot. Thank you for the review.

This is since nostalgic piece of work. I like a nice picture to drive home the point but I understand that some authors don't use them.
Thank you for sharing!

Comment from BOO ghost
Oh, about a rundown bush cabin. Bummer! You lost the photo. Oh, you were raised in that cabin? Where was this cabin? I bet there are a lot of memories in that ole cabin.
I got sweet memories of the house I was reared in. There's no place like home. Wherever you go.
Nice poem. Maybe you will find the picture of this cabin and post it some day for us to visualize. We can't stop the sand from passing through the eye of the needle.
Time is like dew off a lily. Evaporates quick. Time is different in space or no time.
Reap your bountiful golden harvest!

Boo Ghost, what a great name and an even nicer review. Thank you. Love that second last line. And it sure does evaporate quick.

Your reviews are getting nicer. Are you on happy pills. Really Roy, I appreciate your taking the time to read my Fanstory offerings. They truly do boost my self-belief.

I didn?t think they were nasty Bob, I?m sorry, I?ll have to be more positive,
-
Did I use the word nasty, I'm so sorry. I always appreciate your comments. Again, I'm sorry if I offended.
-
You couldn?t offend me Bob, you never said nasty, but I try never to be negative if I can help it, maybe you were joking, some are very sensitive. I couldn?t see the twinkle, that?s it. Well done.

Never mind that... it inspired a very nicely written poem that needed to be written. We need to give thanks for all the things that made us who we are and where we are today. Well done, Bob. NAncy:)

Nancy, thank you for reviewing my poem and posting such generous praise. You're right, we owe those people called parents so much, they did give us so much.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I often wonder what memories are ingrained in the soul of the tumbledown houses I see. If only they could talk. I really enjoyed your poem and can understand where it came from; it's a shame you mislaid the picture, it must have been something for it to bring this lovely poem from you. It's a pleasure to read. Well done. Sandra xx

I was beginning to think that sixes had been removed. Thank you for honoring my poem with that little yellow plus sign. I must confess to being a little challenged when it comes to computer skills and my grandson wasn't around when I posted this poem. So, the image didn't get hoisted. Thank you for your kind words.

You are so complimentary. Would you care to take on a new position as my PR person. And the major bonus, you get to work in Australia. Sincerely, thank you, Dolly, I really appreciate your support.

I think I will accept the position with thanks Bob. I love Australia and I have visited a few times, have a great evening, love Dolly x

A Charles Atlas target. Wasn't he a body builder. Does that mean you were a target because you were a bigger kid. I was the opposite, I was smallish but I could run. This poem is in no way biographical. Thanks, Tom, for taking the time to comment.

No, I was as you small and frail having battle through scarlet fever, and whooping cough before I was two. 5'1 as a freshman and 6'3 a buck forty graduating, I was blessed physically once I enlisted at 17. Within18 months I was 6'6 and 190 and was recruited to play Navy b-ball, which I never played previously. It was miraculous for sure.

A Great story. Miracles do happen. Maybe I will one day get published.
Comment from Regina Elliott
Hi Bob,
This inspiring poem brought
back fond memories of my
childhood on Long Island, NY.
We lived in a barn-red modest
suburban home in the Americana town of Massapequa. I have dreamt
of my former home dozens
of times over the years. In
each dream I am wealthy,
and offer whoever owns it
10 million dollars to find
themselves a bigger home
with a larger yard, etc.
Because my childhood home
means that much to me. But
in reality I'm not wealthy,
yet still, in my dreams I
travel back home and see the
house and yard the way it was
in my vintage childhood
photographs. Thank you for
writing this great poem.
Many blessings to you. ~

A review like yours is all the praise I ever need. You suggest my writing has taken you back to happier times. Whar greater reward could a writer seek. You really have made my day.
