Not only do you summarize one of Chaplin's movies - City Lights (and I do believe the flower girl was blind) - but you manage to weave in Chaplin's life story and why 'The Tramp' was created in the first place.
He came from nothing and became such an icon, all while showing the world that you did not have to lose your humanity in the process.
Thanks for joining me in celebrating Charlie Chaplin's 136th birthday with your tribute!
Yes, I agree. Fascist/autocratic/theocratic states in Russia and the USA will force Europe and Canada into a partnership that may benefit the world. May they be the light going forward.
Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.
Disappeared are my suns to wake up to you.
Gone are my suns to wake up to you.
Every space in my heart embraces you.
You are here and not here,
This line of confusion brings in a little fear,
Said someone “there’s nothing to fear”.
Oh my father, how do I stay clear?
I know things will be rough,
Now that you and I are not on the same turf.
But I promise not to wither, I have no jitters,
I will carry us from bitter to better.
And, I will always keep my head up,
May whatever be the mix up.
For that is how you would have cheered up.
Now I shall face all my fears,
Say goodbye to these tears.
But before I end, let’s make one thing clear.
Dear papa, you and I are forever.
This is my time to steer until the next dawn appears.
