I love the idea of a family being provided for by the toil of his shovel, that is a fantastic phrase. Hard graft for those you love. I can see him walking in after the pit, weary, hungry, clothed in a coat of coal. His good lady shoo- ing him to the tin bath.. brilliant concise writing

I can only guess at how many layers this has been buried beneath, this has grit, realism and honesty. The innocence next to the hardship. What an emotional read.

I agree with the other comments. You've captured that Sunday feeling for sure. I relate. Top poeting is evident when the author, the words and the audience connects. 👏👏

He is to be ruined by a multitude of dark ills,
The like will be the beginnings of your ending

There is something comforting about books. I am not a great reader, but I love the comfort of the library, I feel safe, knowing my brain could, if it desired read anything.

So, Lynn enjoys the music and the poetry. Lucky Lynne. Mornings in my house are the best time, before the cocophany when everyone wakes up . I have learned to flow, absorb, detatch....write it out...

Good to know that though the place is gone, there are good memories here, places to escape to, adventures to be found, imaginary kingdoms to lord over, good people to hold dear. The place you were formed, where you learned silent skills of choice, decision making, risk, negotiation, how to fight, and apologise, so many more.

gently wrapping her lips around

so as not to break each dream....
How pretty is that , so delicate, so full of love.

Aw Ken, wouldn't it be ideal if that happened, no more lies, no more corruption, no spin, sadly, politics is beyond , disconnected from the average Joe or Joline. My faith in them is non existent.

Hmm. I'm wondering who truly is the unworthy one? They that cry the tears, or the subject of their fascination. For the writer still grieves so for them, despite being treated unfairly, I deem the taunter unworthy of such tears.
