My Memories of 2018

As I come to the end of the year
it's always good to take a look back
see the ups, the downs and their effects
learn from mistakes to get off the rack

Many lovely holidays we did enjoy
the highlands in January at Crieff Hydro
then in April to lovely sunny Madeira
so relaxing taking life real slow

Learn to grow in God's word come July
great week at Keswick convention no less
then October took us to Pitlochry town
the enchanted forest there simply no stress

Throughout the year many Hospital calls
my PSA kept down under control
my stammer took the slide once again
so dry my tongue many words own goal

Such a blessing all my friends on here
too many to name they know who they are
so encouraging and inspiring all over the globe
their pens come to the fore from near and far

My greatest support is my Christine
at my back keeping me going strong
but my blessed saviour Jesus always close
stands with me always to eternally belong

G'day Gordon … it's really great that you write poems from your past. They might seem insignificant now, but in years to come they will be invaluable to your family - well done Gordon - Lindsay

I love all your memories Gordon, overall it sounds like a good year, so I hope 2019 will be just as much fun. Madeira is one of my favourite places, have been several times, quite beautiful! Sending you and yours kindest Christmassy thoughts, Ann xx PS praying your PSA remains low!

Thanks Ann, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for prayers for my PSA as it's down to 0.4 and go see the consultant at end of next month. So sorry to read of you have Parkinson's, be assured of my prayers for you too so we can encourage each other. Have a blessed Christmas, Gordon
