Morning comes, then greets the night No wars to fight or mind of hurry Air that’s clean and choice abundant Relaxed the way and not a worry A healthy life with all I need A friend or two with which to share Contented in my habit space But chance to travel anywhere My parents both of Dutch decent Now happy they in Aussie land Six children all in close surround And happy each to give a hand I come from love and taught respect I come from poor but never knew I come from land that holds me warm I come from where regrets are few From place that’s warm and very free Where equal chance is given all I come from where you’d love to be And celebrate my life’s recall |

Where equal chance is given all I enjoyed your poem greatly and I can feel your gratitude for the place you live in and from where you come from. The quoted sentence is so important, not many countries can say the same! Thank you Rick. Love, Margherita  |

Dear Margherita, thank you for your company here today, it is indeed a lucky country from where I come and one that I do so love; there is so much misery in this world today and sure there are the good days and the bad, but looking at the future and the past, life shows promise and many good memories. Where equal chance is given all, I believe that to be the truth and strength of this country of mine. Great to have a chat, thank you so much for your reply. Artic Wind, thank you very much my friend for taking the time to read and reply to my poem. Hello James, I do indeed have a loving family and so very lucky to have one, thank you for your reply, much appreciated. My dear Sunshine, beam of inspiration, great to have you reply here today my friend, all these things in common, isn't that just great, glad you are happy with your place in life and where you come from, me too. Take care and be well. Dear Linda, if I come from heaven my friend, all I can say is; it's is a great place to be and a place that everyone can visit, thank you for your reply my friend, very much appreciated and heart felt. To you all my frineds, again thank you so very much, all your words were read and appreicated. Rick Van Weenen |
