G.D. Ashcroft 1947-2020

Slowly time passes

Without the anxiousness

Of youth to hinder

Thoughts of yesterday . . .

Now is the time

To look forward

With great expertise

For better tomorrows . . .

People come

Some linger

Others pass

Thoughts shared

Minds fantasize

What will tomorrow bring?

Yesterday's dreams are

Today's realities and

Tomorrow's regrets

Too often faced

By those unprepared

To face reality

Of possible sorrow

Through unfulfilled fantasies . . .

Time taken

To share

A common goal

Makes it easier

To satisfy The needs

We have

Alone . . .

-G.D. ASHCROFT

I found these Kodachrome enlargements & writings from the 70s when I was cleaning out my father's house. May his art & his lessons live on forever.
