Travelling along life’s road
hoping to find
a save haven
and welcoming pair of arms.

Surviving, but not living
is not enough

We all need someone
whether it is family, or more,
to give the emotional highs
and personal tranquillity, which is
the food of our souls.

Comparisons are onerous,
but when one has tasted the best
anything less is not acceptable.

Better to go hungry
and live on one’s reserves of memory
than risk the pain and discomfort
of some lesser substance.

I have been sustained by these feelings
and cannot accept anything less.

These pictures, and the thoughts they evoke
is manna to my soul.
Hopefully they will bring happy memories
to you.
