Dr. Thanks for sharing. This is a very good poem. It's written with emotion, sensitivity and alertness to the surrounding. Isn't it funny, at our golden years, we perform best? Is it because we really don't care what others think, but just enjoy our craft as we see fit?

Meanwhile, this weekend, I am off to the Creswick Cemetery, to continue with the Chinese headstone restoration work. You might say it's a work of love. And yes, there are a few Chin Clan members buried in that cemetery. Will write agin after the weekend.

Regards, LG
