Friday 8th December

 

Good Morning!

 

Its another quick visit for me today as I have a lot to do. 

My recent story for my Beginner’s Writing Class is not a festive one.  It is in fact a horror story and I am still trying to devise a decent way into the ending for the reader, instead of the abrupt one I have at present.  It is trying to be a Roald Dahl but is no where near that yet….Lol!

But the ‘ bones ‘ of the story are there.  So for now, I’m sorry to disappoint anyone who was looking forward to reading it.  I will craft away at it until I am confident that it is saying all it can.  For now….

Below is a poem by Sybil’s village friend who lost a son this time last year to drink driving.

 

Here is an excerpt of her entry from her journal and her hopes and wishes for us all.

 

From Sybils space…

I hope that you are all keeping safe and warm.  I am going to include a poem tonight that a lady in the village has written. Her Son was killed last year by a drunk hit and run driver and she has written this poem. It has been used by the Wiltshire Police in their Christmas drive against drinking and driving. It would be good if it was read by as many people as possible so if you can pass it on it would be great.

 

Love One Another.

 

A PRICE TOO HIGH. P Reynolds.

If you’re dreaming of a Christmas that’s full of festive cheer;

Then stop and think a moment of the loved ones all hold dear;

Don’t think that you are fit to drive,that one more drink is fine;

That’s what a lot of others thought last year at Christmas time.

You say ‘It can’t happen, a careful driver me’,

But no matter what you think, my friend, It can, it does, you see.

Then lives are lost and shattered, leaving grief and tears and pain.

Only memories are left,  Life will never be the same.

So stop and think this Christmas, as you taste your festive cheer.

Don’t drink and drive this Christmastide, or even the New Year.

The price is far too high, you see, For those we hold so dear.

I shall place this on my MSN Journal too in the hope that at least one or more folks will take the hopes and wishes of this parent on board.

For now..

God Bless
