Remember My Youth Compare It Now

I lived in the early-mid 70s so very different being a lonely soul not socially active lived in the countryside with not a friend didn't really mind it as made me selective This was me living my teens/early 20s loved going to Wimpy bar in the night after tea drove into town for coke or two drive back on own this being my plight When had a lunch break at work during the week frequent local music shop nearly every day loved to see what's pop to suit my taste got posters Blondie, Kate Bush and ONJ Put them on bedroom wall to gaze upon sleep away think dreaming on each one loved local movie house there often Grease was fab great tunes bar none It's incredible how things have changed now musically classical's my top tune never been to the cinema for 30 years long till last week for Mary Poppins return with balloon Now my drink bar is Costa Coffee still lonely soul at times but my wife Christine's my best friend eases my load still, stammer as have all of my life Big difference now God is with me never to leave for Jesus sets me free (Writing a poem describing myself as a teenager/young adult (early 20's)...then being descriptive about my present state for your last few stanzas.)

Hi Connie, pleased you had a nice Christmas, I was in bed for boxing day and half of next day (my birthday) with being sick, headache and a cold but much better now. Every blessing in 2019, Gordon

Gordon, I enjoyed the journey from your youth to present day. I am glad you found your wife and companion. My husband and I are kind of loners so I can relate. So nice to meet you! Have a beautiful new year! : )

Hi Connie, Glad you enjoyed it and pleased to meet you too though have read a few of your writings in the past, How was Christmas in Hawaii? here in Scotland, it was quite dull and cold. Thanks again for dropping in, Blessings, Gordon
