The thing is
To decide
Where you begin
And I subside
The thing is
To help or stand beside
Refrain from advice
Simply hold my space
The Thing Is
To stay or to go
My liquid feet
They give no answers
The Thing Is
I feel the vice
Upon your crown
Heavy sharp
I want to reach over
And unbuckle it
But the reality is,
it’s not my own
The Thing Is
To stop the fuss
Over whose cargo to carry
Our own
The Thing Is
In the garden
You’ll find me
Dirty fingernails
Rooting in the leaves
Bang On About 
Oh dear One, I get your Things. Love

Yes, the big thing in life is all those you mention. Knowing how and when to act, or even to do or say anything at all. We make mistakes, always learning and hopefully get wiser along the way. Today is 47 years married for Stephen and me, so we must be doing something right. Not always though as we still have our moments but the big picture is healthy. To be open minded, ready to see the other side, caring and communicative are such important qualities. So, out to dinner now we go to celebrate our good fortune! Nature is such a wonderful release for me too. So, dirty fingernails, my fondest love to you, Helen
