Unto thine own self be true

A life compromised

by moral obligations

the right choices made.

Waiting

.

Steely blue cold seat

at the station; leg relief

but rather cold bum.

Sweet victory

It’s been a long time

and the wait has bee so hard

happy days are here.

Sweet joy. They are here

and I am relegated

to this room…I write.

My daughter’s assessment of this haiku…”that’s boring Dad”.

Waiting it out

 

Inexorable

my time in time will come, but

will I welcome it?

Matilda

 

Weather-worn and wise

forever calm and serene

my rock in a storm.

Another goodbye

.

Dear and special friends

With love and a heavy heart

I bid you farewell.

For Rachel, Ellie, Dave, Tony and Jon. 

Who wants to live forever?

There can be only

one…defeat all the others…

Highlander remains.

Inspired by the brilliant film and soundtrack number. 

Patience

 

Encouragement works;

homework stalling, keep showing

enthusiasm.
