And a Happy New Year to you too. Glad to hear all is well, been doing bit of travel also.

I grieve not for what I never had
For it will never be
But for the love with strings attached
I’m grateful to be free

The strings that got pulled so tight
I’ve now finally detached
And the fake love, but empty words
Is gone and now despatched

There are moments when I wallow
And wonder what might have been
If circumstances had not been as such
And the grass a bit more green

But in greener pastures I now roam
The barren wastelands in fading past
Moving on, moving up and being thankful
That the die is now a better cast

Yes, so happy to hear, Deja do.
And a great report.

I dreamt I saw an investigation
The holocaust was up for review
And a group called IHART
Was hired to uncover the truth anew

I dreamt the report was issued
It spoke of a little bit of pain
But said times were rather hard back then
And territories did loose and gain

The allegations were duly noted
But some of those accused had passed away
And not many of those who’d got hurt a bit
Were actually around today

The report mentioned management culpability
And found new policies that all would like
How much had changed since the bit of trouble
But there was no mention of that word “Reich”

As for Uncle Adolf and the others
Well it was all so long ago
Move on, forgive, forget
30 Pieces of Silver for this reports wordy flow

You said it all ... and in words that rhyme.

Thanks, Bemused.

From the files I pulled
The words of hate
And marked the year
Of alas "The Late"

I made the paper
On which words did lie
Into a boat
Folded by my friend and I

And we set it sail
Upon a river free
And watched it float
Towards the sea

The words of hate
Gone at last
Assigned with the baggage
To the past

No regrets at all
That I'd not replied
For why engage with one
Who love has denied

And enter back
Into the world of hate
The double life
Of "The Late"

And as it sailed
Down river yon
Symbolically it said
No more hurt, it is gone

What a sad but beautiful way to say goodbye. Hoping to catch up with you latter this year when we come down your way. Going to do the Heaphy Track, so will be in Karamea .
Maybe we could float another boat down the river, make mine a big one.

I hope you meet!
Wish we could all meet.

He, he. Wonder what we'd talk about?

The Good Ole days? Nope
Politics? Maybe not.
Religion? You're not serious.
Alcohol? Don't want to offend the non drinkers, so no.
Children? Please no.
Grandchildren? See above.
Families? Eeeeeek.
Work? Definitely not.
Income? Oh please.

Fanda Eagles highlights? Sounds good
