Two Pathways Destined

Oh we made our choices in life and tried so very hard Nothing’s easy when the old school buried deep mentally, Being street wise we fought many times our lives put on guard Till we came along and touched each with our candour gently. Yesterday at the castle or was it a long time past? Till then as yet never met life in concrete we thought set, Dreams becoming reality in them a role at last Seems we were meant to meet oh fate we succumb to your debt. Far behind now the guilt as our hearts rhythmically beat Looks count for nothing as sincere eyes see more than skin deep, While many hours have long time passed; years spent now a new treat Creating tomorrow’s memories forever to keep. Oh to reap the rewards in this our lives the seed to sow To know love needs a little rain before sunshine to grow. © Harry J Horsman © Mandy M Tams 2015…

Wonderful collaboration! Love the line "life in concrete we thought set" Life never seems to follow the plans and maps we make.

Life can be like a maze. We have to try different paths and get lost sometimes, before we can find our true destination... A very expressive piece and a lovely collaboration, Mandy and Harry. Very nicely done!
