(Another way of looking at life... poem) Stacking bricks in a builder’s yard I was just eighteen, while my mate was in Vietnam. I was building for the future, he was trying to lay the foundations. © Harry J Horsman 2020

Respect they certainly do deserve as does your friend - enjoyed the two very apt but different perspectives - well penned Harry. Blessings, Jennifer.
