Like Neville, it reminds me of a Biblical text - the one The Seekers turned into a song: 'To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven'. Nicely done Heather :)

I hope your brain has recovered Neville. :) I was going to go and see the movie about him the other day but ran out of time!

Thanks Catherine. :)

Do go and see the movie Heather - it is incredibly good. Had me rivetted to the seat every moment and I thought it would be quite boring - boy was I wrong. It is terribly sad and yet so very uplifting at the same time. I had no idea about Stephen Hawking prior to seeing it. Inspirational man.

I did go and see "Mr Turner" which was excellent. It's about J. M. W. Turner (the artist). I was riveted to the screen at times.

Thanks Ron. :)

So well written Heather ... loved it. Lots of wonderful lyrics written with time as a theme. Have a listen to this one sung by The Ten Tenors, 'We Have All the Time in the World.' I think you will enjoy it.

Like the poem Heather. When my dear old grand dad wanted to know the time he would ask, "What's the enemy say?

Thanks Wazza and Vic (and everyone) for your comments.

Neville. Joseph Mallard William Turner - a wee slip of the keyboard. The man sure could paint no matter what his name was.
