Dedicated, in loving memory, to Katie and Richard.
Rest in peace my friends.
Come gather here,
Be at your ease,
To say this last goodbye.
Not to this shell before you,
But to a life passed by.
I lie wrapped in a tapestry,
Stitched with every memory,
That we have shared together,
Through calm and stormy weather,
By each other’s side.
I do not ask you for your tears ,
For I am free, my suffering past. Remember all the times we laughed,
And when you find that happy place,
Let a smile light up your face.
We forged our bond with love, not tears,
Linking arms, we walked as one,
Now is my turn to rest a while,
I have reached the final stile,
But you must carry on.
Goodbye, to you, with whom I’ve shared,
This wondrous gift of life.
Enjoy the dance, life’s sweet refrain,
For love is timeless as the stars,
And i will dance with you again.
Worthy is God to receive all praise
so may all His servants say so
obey His call send Him praise
for evermore may your trumpet blow
Blessed be God that's His name
from the rising to setting sun
God's name must be praised
so His will is truly done
God is the Lord looking always down
on all the peoples He did create
displaying His glory to far and near
blessing the righteous on His plate
Who is like the Lord our God?
sitting on His highest heaven
no one is like His very equal
for consider all He's divinely given
This God lifts up the needy
so making them with prince's sit
giving the barren a wanted home
for mothers and joyfulness together knit
Let us give our voices to raise
give to the Lord God true praise
(Psalm 113 vs 1-9 (ESV))
It's Easy To Get Married
(for Bella and Dalton)
By Franklin Price
2/20/2018
It's easy to get married
Just say the words, “I do”.
Place the rings upon your fingers
You've now made one from two.
Forever are the vows you've made
To love and honor year to year
A fifty, fifty proposition
From both sides, I hope that's clear.
Sometimes it's sixty - forty
Sometimes a hundred - oh.
Think of each other, as yourself,
They're your other half you know.
Different points of view will happen
When they come, don't break, but bend
Your spouse is not your enemy
They're your better half and friend
Keep no secrets from each other
Truth and love should be what's told
Adjust the halves, to keep the whole,
And together you'll grow old
Four o’clock in the morning,
Another four hours to go,
Mouth tastes of stomach acid
Eyes like pee holes in the snow.
Every Mid shift at this time
It’s always the same
Time to start playing
My stay awake game.
Me and old Elvis playing music
On our imaginary record show,
Country Rock mainly
For those in the know.
A quick check around
For duty’s sake
Just to make sure
Everybody’s still awake.
Pete on station four
Is starting to nod.
The Op next door
Gives him a sly prod.
Back to the music.
Wish I could close my eyes,
But that’s just when sleep
Catches you by surprise.
Cold War Berlin, Cuban Crisis
Still in full swing,
Nobody quite knowing
What problems it will bring.
Whatever they may be
We’re all hoping they’ll keep,
Just another four hours
Then it’s off to bed to sleep.
Elvis racks the records
With the coming of full light.
Together we’ve survived
Yet another sleepless night.
Four more days
That will just fly away
And we’re off again
It’s another Mid Shift Day
Start off bright and cheerful
But it just isn’t right
To be awake and sober
In the middle of the night.
Old Elvis is waiting
For me to say okay
The deck is off and spinning
Our programme’s under way.
We are blessed to have a home in Florida…not too far from the water…
where we find it’s nice…when we take a walk together to think…
this must be paradise.
We are blessed to have a family cabin in the mountains of North Carolina…
where we find it’s nice when we take a walk together to think…
this must be paradise.
Wherever we are for a holiday…at home, in a restaurant…
we find it’s nice…with the family gathered together to think…
this must be paradise.
Sitting around a campfire, telling stories…singing songs…
again we find it nice as we look at all the smiles around us to think…
this must be paradise.
We recently visited England and France…London and Paris to be precise…
where seeing the sights with our family we thought…
this must be paradise.
Although my list goes on and on…I will do my best to be concise…
you might be wondering how so many places can we consider paradise…
Let me be more accurate…I think it would suffice
to say what we experience so often…is a taste of paradise.
I can’t speak for the creator…but I believe the way the world was designed
is that paradise is not one particular place…but more a state of mind.
So at certain times, certain moments, sharing with those we love feels so nice
that we smile and give thanks for those little tastes of paradise.
It doesn’t matter where we are or when or what or how…what matters most is who
and as far as I’m concerned…these little tastes of paradise will do.
It’s the reason why whether in a restaurant, around a campfire
In the mountains or walking along the sea..
I’m always pleasantly surprised when the next taste of paradise
finds it’s way to me.
Oh how I love you.
Cherishing each moment,

Why do I allow your memories
To send me to places I know
I never thought in years gone by
That I once again would dare go
But I’ve traveled back there
Only to find myself alone
Even though I have so many around me
My loneliness for now is meant to be
If that’s what it takes to make you see
That what was said to you
Was just my heart longing to be free
Of the deepest aching inside me
I’ve written these words in poem form
For some time
I do my best to make them rhyme
But mostly I do it to get out emotions
Burning up within
And to try to make some sane sense
Of my situation in my mind
I didn’t go into this quest to find you and to tell you blind
I know the reality of circumstances
And how consequences can be unkind
You need to take a look all around you in order to find
What you’ve been looking for all along
That certain someone who never
Could quite stay gone
But instead of you pushing away
Stay
Let us face this together the way we did back then
Let us once again try to begin
To find the love we we’re destined to have
Let us be strong
I feel it this time we won’t go wrong
To each other is where we belong
Now we are older
That though don’t make the world around us
Any less colder
We have to prove to ourselves and others
Our love is bolder
Then their belief, things perhaps caused by their grief
This night is still and quiet now
I don’t dare make a sound
Yet my heart is screaming so loud
My head once again stuck in the clouds
My eyes closed and yep
There it is a vivid memory
Of you and me
Never fails
Every little detail
It’s to this I’m forever bound
Oh how I wish time could be wound
To back then
To fix things and let our hearts mend
To not let it end
So we would be
Holding each other again
Soon will dawn Australia day.' A date on the calender some
Pages away..Its the first poem from me, on this holiday
In the past I was not one (for its celebration lets say?) Yet
Decades have sifted me.' Experience has shifted me.! I
Feel for the past though I will say.' It has been a hard go! and
Most challenging for the convicts; and early settlers in.'
For Aboriginal people, it was quite harrowing, bringing also
Much suffering.' Yet this is not a new thing' nations fall
And rise and sll the the while the gum leaves sigh.' All
The while Ulurù still stands 'or Ayers rock' both names are
In this land.' And dreams of people, all part of that' from the coast the mountains, to city folk, and 'the great outback' this day is
But another one, under the strong Australian sun.' Yet it
Can be viewed as another chance.' Another take.? A look a
Glance? at a country rich in in generosity, of the battler spirit
It instilled in me.' Can it be a day that will challenge our minds? A day to stand together.' Let negative past deeds
Subside.' Reach out to all Aussies..Look to your values
Stay strong, give wide berth of politicans' raise your flag
Sing your songs.' Take care of your elders, and encourage
The young' build up the nation now, hold your borders' show the world. Get things really moving along.!!
“All minds and hearts connected with love and light of universal consciousness, in a flicker free continuum ~ what does life on such a planet look like?”
- Unseeking Seeker
Together as One,
One voice and one song,
One goal they pursue,
This heartedly they do,
A mission to accomplish.
None indulge in recrimination,
Turbulent waters abated,
War is not an option,
None is at loggerheads,
Crime does not lurk around.
Equitable distribution of resources,
All stand on equal footing,
Benevolence is at the helm of affairs,
The strong aid the weak,
The mighty prop the weary.
Fabrics interweaved into one colourful piece,
Cultures integrated and tolerated,
Hands in hands they push against the tide,
The table is set for all,
There’s room for everyone besides.
A world we dream of,
Speculative future we envisage,
Tomorrow’s cities beyond our view,
Their internal architecture, classic and ethereal,
Rays of hope permeate the space.

CHRISTMAS
It’s nearly that time of the year,
When families come together to
Celebrate the good cheer,
That this 12th month offers us,
It’s so wonderful and a pleasure
Preparing for this Christmas fuss,
And no matter if it’s spent in the North,
South, East or West,
For me it has always been one of
The best,
Days of my life,
As a child, a teenager and wife!
Presents are wrapped to give
To loved ones,
And cards are sent with tons
Of love.
A turkey is a must,
And must be just,
Cooked golden brown,
With crispy skin
I normally get into a flat spin.
A ham is cooked from
The day before,
Last year I dropped it
On the floor!
Oh yes, there’s more, a Christmas
Pudding with home made
Custard that’s thick and creamy,
I always taste, isn’t that what
Chefs do on TV, it’s normally dreamy!
I always visit mum and dad,
Where they rest, and leave flowers,
Sure that makes them happy and glad!
We miss them all,
Including my father in law,
Wish they could call!
The Christmas tree and small lights
That flicker, look like a fairy
Who takes pauses whilst telling us of
The Christmas tree’s story
And of a lifetime of Christmas’s and
All it’s glory.
Each decoration that is hung
On our tree,
Has been chosen,
Very carefully,
Each has a meaning for this
Special day,
Which will hopefully be there,
For generations to come,
As has always been done!
After feasting on our late lunch,
It’s time to open the presents,
Some families prefer to open them early,
Before brunch,
Seven of us in all, including the lady
That helps us which makes eight.
Bright paper thrown around and
Exclamations of glee,
As each thanks the other happily!
Each decoration, after Christmas, is
Lovingly wrapped and put away
So that they last.
Inevitably when I sing Christmas Carols,
I shed a tear,
It’s a happy one, not sad, as we begin
Getting into gear,
For a week after Christmas, when
We wish all a blessed
and Happy New Year.
