“A Grandparent’s Promise”

I won’t just love you loudly—
I’ll love you in the quiet ways too.
The ones that don’t ask for anything back.

I’ll be the arms that are always open.
The voice that never rushes you.
The place you run to
when the world feels too loud.

I won’t just show up for the big moments—
I’ll be there for the ordinary ones…
because those are the ones
you’ll remember most.

I’ll clap the loudest.
Pray the hardest.
And believe in you—
even when you don’t yet believe in yourself.

I’ll tell you stories
about who your parent used to be…
before life got heavy,
before time moved so fast.

I’ll give you patience.
Second chances.
Too many hugs.
And snacks you probably shouldn’t have.

I’ll hold your hand
just a little longer than I need to—
because I already know
how quickly this all goes.

One day,
you won’t need me like this.

And that’s okay.

Because my love isn’t going anywhere.
My prayers won’t slow down.
And my heart will always recognize yours
as one of its greatest gifts.

This is my promise—
for as long as I’m here…
and even after.
.. written by poet and author Heather Mitchell-Macko (photo below).

"A Fragrant Lament".. by David Houston.
This poem for all Scot’s who’ve been part of the Scottish diaspora (me included). Hope it swells your hearts, especially with Scotland at the World Cup.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽ 🎵 Funny How Scotland Won Every World Cup (When We Were Young)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

His first World Cup was Argentina ‘78. He was nearly 10 years old and he's never forgotten watching Archie Gemmill’s wonder goal against the Netherlands and the fleeting hope that came with it.

Long summer evenings.
Jumpers for goalposts.
Big dreams.

💛 If enough people enjoy it, he'd love to release it properly and donate any future proceeds to support Brian House Children’s Hospice and CHAS (Children’s Hospices Across Scotland).

"American Shame has Donny to blame!"
Every word true, about the Red, S***e & Blue. Neither Friend nor Foe,
While Donny's Cult is in tow.
Denied Voter their Rights, Freedom taken too;
ICE, cruel, detained Innocent, depraved;
A return of Jim Crowe; your people enslaved?
For decades you cried "All for One - One for All,"
Now Canada turns its back, an American Empire doth fall.
Was it the Education System, that could have educated: Truth?
Was it the Politicians that stood by as your Leaders incited hate, waged War; so uncouth?
Was it the millions of GOP & MAGA Followers that joined in on those chants?
No! It was the whole of the US of A with fire in their pants!.. R Anthony H. Rock (May 27th. 2026)
Thanks K for sharing & caring.

"Late Lament"
Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,
Another day's useless energy is spent.

Impassioned lovers wrestle as one;
Lonely man cries for love and has none.
New mother picks up and suckles her son,
Senior citizens wish they were young.

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight,
Red is grey is yellow white,
But we decide which is right,
And which is an illusion.
