Fragments of our past!

My friend from school and a friend for life Steven Fullerton, just posted this image up on his Facebook account. Without any doubt we were the Scottish Court at the time, the bards, boundless, and without fear. Steve being in the year above me, one whole year older, at that time it was so much. Steven considered me with some respect, yet never truely mentioned it, as a true Glaswegian kid,  nada, spoken. Everything, and any grain of love, would not be spoken, just expressed through gestures, that linger on today.  Back then, in 1990 ish,  each one of us commanded a size-able amount of terrain that respect was mutual, who had more than the other, impossible to say.

The Best Carpe Diem Poems

Life is Fine This life is fine The world is mine Though I can’t stop The hands of time The birds all sing And flowers bloom The sun still shines And chases gloom And I can view The sparkling sea And all the stars Just dance with me The clouds, they hide And I must seek The creatures small At me, they peek The grass is cool Beneath my feet The water dew Now wets my cheek I have true friends A family And hope of an Eternity A place where I Will not fear death Where all is sweet Upon my breath Where tears will cease to touch my face And I am blessed By Heaven’s Grace My life is fine The world is mine This is my time To truly shine Eileen Manassian
