Dedicated to my daughter who left home to start University
Gold Dust
I held for a moment in time
A sprinkle of gold dust in my hand
Pure in form and heart
A little piece of me, soon to journey this land
Time has passed quickly
Her gold dust has started to spread
And lately, not that long ago
She started plans to leave the nest
I held for a moment in time
A sprinkle of gold dust in my hand
And now as I blow it gently off
I give credit to my parents, because now I understand.
To all the parents who have had a young man or woman leave home to start their Uni journey xx
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
