W.R.P.M. Chorus East Coast Tour

W.R.P.M. Chorus East Coast Tour Sept 2018

An early start at crack of dawn,

We met at Police H.Q.

To board the bus, - it's Pearson bound,

We left without . . . . . . . . . . . just two.

For they had left some days ago

To drive the Chorus truck,

That's Karl and Fred, with all our gear,

We wished them 'best of luck'.

Excitement, anticipation,

A sense 'it's finally here'

Th'initial planning now complete

From o'er the past few year.

It's all come to fruition

The hard work's paying off,

The team have "dotted all the 'i's'

Their toil we cannot scoff.

We're queuing up at 'check-in'

At Pearson Internat.

It seems that all arrangements

Have been performed, ‘down-pat’.

Our tour director Terri,

She’s such an awesome lass

A splendid job, performed with ease

At herding such a mass.

On route from ‘port to hotel,

Our stomachs felt a void,

So stopped at ‘Murphy’s Fish &. Chips’

And what a fare, enjoyed.

An uneventful journey

Like clockwork, smooth, it sped

But with that early start, we hear

The calling of the bed.

And just in case you're wondering,

The truck, with all our gear?

When 'rriving at our first hotel

We noticed - YEP, - it's here.

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

I love you dad.

I told my dad, while on his bed, assuming he did sleep, In hospital, [ he'd not come home ] with tears my eyes did weep, “I love you dad” Then hugged him tight, while feebly he replied “I.............love...............you................too..............son” THAT’S the thing I cherish, since he died. With forty years age difference, while young, we were not close. He wasn't very tactile and nor was he verbose, But as we aged, did closer grow, in ways he’d show his love, We’ll meet again, don’t know the ‘when’, – the ‘where’? – in Heaven above. I then went out to my car after this and bawled my eyes out at having had this special moment.

A Father's Blessing

As youngest son, I always sensed From many of the brothers, True or not, they’d put me down, I wasn’t like the others. A few days prior to passing on, A blessing I was giv’n From my beloved, aged dad, Before he moved to Heav’n. His health was failing faster now The family rallied 'round, My eldest bro from ‘cross the sea, Was heading ‘homeward bound’. While visiting, - a daily rit, To spend some ‘qual’ty time’, I mentioned ‘bout th'upcoming trip, I’ll ne’er forget this line. “You’ll not need me tomorrow night To visit with you, dad, Your number
