The washing hangs abandoned In the Ukraine, blooded and singed Cowering not from the wind but from the bombs . It is tethered to a line, an invisible line Everyone has forgotten and it stays Abandoned in the cold wind and snow.
It’s a symbol of the people Made refugee Hanging between life and death Bombarded by those with no conscience Empty promises of safe passage Hanging on the invisible line We must not dessert them.
Good morning everyone and a Happy Birthday to my youngest son who is 40 years today! How did that happen!
Also its The Chinese New Year so.

If you’d like to see what I have so far on your prompt list and what’s to come, you can find it HERE..
We are lucky here in England to have four definite seasons. Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. We know and expect our seasonal changes. I have put together some of my photos that show seasonal changes.
The seasons come and go Winters bleak with ice and snow Spring like its name full of new life Summer colours dress our country Autumn brings fruitful bounty.
Before I start proper with my two classic Country choices here is what I consider a great piece of country music from James Blunt ….yup! I said James Blunt. HALFWAY.
Nobody drives to the middle of nowhere Just to turn around, to turn around Nobody sleeps in the middle of the bed When they got someone else, someone else And nobody walks up the stairway to hell Just to walk back down
‘Cause it’s there or it’s not It’s heartbreak or it’s love There’s no such thing as halfway You’re in or outta luck We made it or we lost There’s no such thing as halfway
Nobody’s searching for the middle of the rainbow To find the gold, to find the gold Nobody sails to the middle of the ocean And calls it home, and calls it home And nobody stands in the middle of a dance floor To dance alone
‘Cause it’s there or it’s not It’s heartbreak or it’s love There’s no such thing as halfway You’re in or outta luck We made it or we lost There’s no such thing as halfway
So here we are in this halfway house There’s no way in and there’s no way out If you stay, or if you go I don’t care, just let me know If you feel it, do you feel it?
‘Cause it’s there or it’s not It’s heartbreak or it’s love There’s no such thing as halfway You’re in or outta luck We made it or we lost There’s no such thing as halfway
Hey, yeah There’s no such thing as halfway Hey, yeah There’s no such thing as halfway
Now I have never been a big fan of country music but there are a few great exception one is the great Dolly Parton. . My favourite track by the great Dolly is Better Get To Livin.
I have chosen the video below, it is really a firm favourite of mine. The young lad in the video is cute and obviously a talented artist. I also love the way he adds positive photos in of himself and his partner and their life together it just embodies the meaning of the song.
“Better Get to Livin'” is a song by American singer-songwriter Dolly Parton. It was released on August 28, 2007, exclusively to the iTunes Store as the first release by Parton’s own record label, Dolly Records.The song was subsequently sent to country radio on September 28 as the first single from Parton’s 2008 album, Backwoods Barbie. An upbeat country pop song, its lyrics deal with keeping a positive attitude and overcoming negative emotions. The song garnered positive reviews from critics and reached number 48 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The music video featuring Parton and Amy Sedaris premiered November 26. The idea for the song came from Parton’s co-producer and band leader Kent Wells, who co-wrote the song with her. According to Parton, Wells suggested that she write a song about her attitude since so many people ask what the secret to her happiness is. According to Parton, the song is about coping with the pressures of life and trying to keep a positive outlook in the midst of difficult times: information from Wiki.
People always comin’ up to me and askin’ “Dolly, what’s your secret? With all you do, your attitude Just seems to be so good How do you keep it?” Well, I’m not the Dalai Lama, but I’ll try To offer up a few words of advice.
You better get to livin’, givin’ Don’t forget to throw in a little forgivin’ And lovin’ on the way You better get to knowin’, showin’ A little bit more concerned about where you’re goin’ Just a word unto the wise You better get to livin’.
A girlfriend came to my house Started cryin’ on my shoulder Sunday evening She was spinnin’ such a sad tale I could not believe the yarn that she was weavin’ So negative the words she had to say I said if I had a violin I’d play.
I said you’d better get to livin’, givin’ Be willing and forgivin’ Cause all healing has to start with you You better stop whining, pining Get your dreams in line And then just shine, design, refine Until they come true
And you better get to livin’.
Your life’s a wreck, your house is mess And your wardrobe way outdated All your plans just keep on falling through Overweight and under paid, under appreciated I’m no guru, but I’ll tell you This I know is true.
You better get to livin’, givin’ A little more thought about bein’ A little more willin’ to make a better way Don’t sweat the small stuff Keep your chin up Just hang tough And if it gets too rough Fall on your knees and pray And do that everyday Then you’ll get to livin’.
The day we’re born we start to die Don’t waste one minute of this life Get to livin’ Share your dreams and share your laughter Make some points for the great hereafter.
Better start carin’ Better start sharin’ Better start tryin’ Better start smiling And you better get to livin’…
My second choice is the fabulous John Denver who I have loved since I can’t remember when, beautiful voice, fabulous lyric, gorgeous smile and a true gentleman died too soon.
Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. (December 31, 1943 – October 12, 1997), known professionally as John Denver, was an American guitarist, singer, composer, actor, activist, and humanitarian whose greatest commercial success was as a solo singer. After traveling and living in numerous locations while growing up in his military family, Denver began his music career with folk music groups during the late 1960s. Starting in the 1970s, he was one of the most popular acoustic artists of the decade and one of its best-selling artists. By 1974, he was one of America’s best-selling performers; AllMusic has called Denver “among the most beloved entertainers of his era”.
Take Me Home, Country Roads“, also known simply as “Country Roads“, is a song written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert and John Denver about West Virginia. It was released as a single performed by Denver on April 12, 1971, peaking at number two on Billboard‘s US Hot 100 singles for the week ending August 28, 1971. The song was a success on its initial release and was certified Gold by the RIAA on August 18, 1971, and Platinum on April 10, 2017. The song became one of John Denver’s most popular songs. It has continued to sell, with over 1.6 million digital copies sold in the United States.
