Whilst on holiday this year my sister-in-law gave me this piece she wrote recently, I thought I would share it The Pebble Some thoughts from me, a tiny pebble on the seashore Looking at the horizon, way beyond my scope At home here with my compares Sitting still and knowing all life surely comes to me If only in the footsteps of those busy cheerful children Or the chasing here and there of that excited sand beetle And the gentle caress of that transparent blob That cools me, soothes me and I call a jelly fish For me in this place, at this moment, I find eternity I would not wish it differently. The symphony that serenades me from dawn to dusk And dusk to dawn Is never ending in its chorus. Light, dark warm, cold, colourful, Twinkling, bubbling, birthing Decaying, growing, renewing This is my inheritance. Some day I may explore further When that kindly exuberant wave calls me And carries me to the depths of the unknown In that great ocean that has always kept me company Fed me, revitalised me and now is offering even more A glimpse perhaps of new horizons And many many more surprises Where I will always be that tiny pebble But now, not on the sea shore But in that place where there is more and more. |

Great poem. I liked it. Tell her that she has done a great job.  Ronil (The sweet sound of summer sends serenity through my soul searching for that evermore solitude.) |

Dear Marge, Thank you for your email, as you kindly pointed out, I should not have posted my sister-in-laws poem here. I do hope it did not offend, your point is taken for future reference. Regards Peter |
