Hope

The one truly great thing that sets mankind apart is our capacity for hope. In the darkest of moments to be able to look forward.
This will be our salvation

All you need in life

All we ever really need in life is a spare pair of underpants and a pack of imodium!

SO YOUNG SO CLOSE TO HOME

To the glorious memory of Sgt P.V.R SUTTON aged 24 years.

A2 BOM SQDN RAF.

Also his five comrades who lost their lives here through enemy action 31.7.1941

The memorial is erected on the spot in the Ashdown Forest , East Sussex., where their Wellington bomber crashed on it’s way back from a bombing mission to Cologne by the mother of the deceased.

This poem is for all of the above.

SO YOUNG SO CLOSE TO HOME

So young so close to home

Our freedom was your conscience

What do you make of the world you fought and died for?

Was your death no more than theft?

A life stolen. No court no justice to convict the thief.

Your memorial stands alone against wind and rain just as the country you fought for stood alone all those years ago.

You were so young and so close to home.

The flowers planted for you bloom so brightly each spring.

They die in sympathy for you come the winter snow.

Dear soul we owe you so much

For all the freedoms we take for granted each day

The Europe of today is united we are proud to say

You carried that dream in your heart that day you took off in the summer of 1941.

And while we all bicker about our petty differences your dream's lie still never to be fulfilled.

Never the less we thank you for our freedom today

We pay our respects at the spot where your memory lays

You died for all of us that fateful day

You maybe gone but your sacrifice will never fade

Journey to the life bridge

There are many bridges in life. Many we fear to cross even though we should. To often we find ourselves standing on the other side wondering what would it be like 'over there?'Many of us spend almost our entire life on what we concider to be the wrong side of the 'Bridge'There are many who pluck up courage and start to cross and turn back for fear of what is on the other side. Some charge head long accross many bridges. Some run strieght back again. Othersjust continue crossing bridges never considering or valuing what they find on the other side.Which are you? Where are you on your journey? Do you long to cross bridges but never do?Do you start crossing but falter? Do you wish you could value what lies on the other side of every bridge you cross.

Iam 'The Life Bridge' take the journey with me.

You will be amazed by the path we choose and the bridges we cross.Let us begin the journey with this qoute from Richard Bach

"Lean into your fears. Dare them to do their worst. Then cut them down when they try.Every corner you fear to turn is empty air cloaked to look like jagged hell"

The life you want and the person you want to be is that shinnig dazeling light that shines within you. Follow it!

The Journey accross the Life Bridge has begun.
