Steve................"The Old Sea Dog".................(retired)

Subtle shades for us to see .. lifes paintbox
A verse which portrays Life's true perspective...

A slow lumbering machine, lifts up the soil.
Constantly moving, with hydraulics does toil.
Each bucket load placed, on top of the screen.
As another machine shakes, now there is a scene.



Constantly separating, the good from the bad.
Providing two piles, one of which is sad.
But the other is fine, and so very rich.
Extracting good top soil, from within life's ditch.



Taking the time, each operation completed with care.
Separating out the good, so that you might share.
Providing nutrition, to feed next springs blooms.
Searching out life's beauty, from within the gloom.



The debris separated and rests in heaps.
To be disposed of, without a weep.
The beauty piles higher, for tis certainly more.
Will provide the flowers, and love at your door.



As with life, the debris is noisy but less.
Demanding attention, distracts from the best.
But the silent majority, will win through each day.
So search out the beauty, along life's way.



When you stub your toe, on life's many rocks.
The pain is short lived, even if the language shocks.
Disregard the debris, and those causing this pain.
Seek out life's beauty, for love is the gain.



There is only one way to say

"I Love You"

But there are thousands of ways to demonstrate
