Cancer

2010-08-14T00:45:12Z

When cancer comes along,

it creeps and makes no sound,

it worms’ its way inside,

its’ limits, know, no bounds

Young or old, makes no difference,

You see,

it really doesn’t care, if it’s you

Or, if it’s me.

I wish with all my heart,

I could take away her pain

And gently rock her in my arms,

and make her well again.

Lifejackets

2010-03-17T23:46:42Z

Some days I feel I'm drowning

sinking way down low.

Some days I feel like giving up

and think I'd like to go.

But, looking up above me

I see a gleaming light.

I swim and kick and struggle

and push with all my might.

As I break upon the surface

I gasp and gulp for air.

I look all around me

and can't believe what's there.

Floating on the ocean

as far as I can see

lots of coloured lifejackets

waiting just for me.

As soon as I get near one

they wrap themselves around

and pull my weary body

to some safer ground.

"Where do they come from?"

I think I hear you say.

Well, they come from the people

I talk to every day.

People who understand

this journey we are on.

Whether it is short

whether it is long.

So, thank you my friends

that's all I'd like to say.

And, I hope I'll be a lifejacket for you someday!

Indie you are my inspiration!

Angel

2009-10-09T14:17:34Z

I’m sending you an angel

I hope you’ll keep her near

She’ll help you through your sadness

She’ll help you through your fear

She’ll bring a little light

To your darkest day

She’ll guide you through the maze

and help you find your way

And sometime in the future

When you’re feeling strong

I hope you’ll take my angel

And gladly pass her on.

The shock of diagnosis Was etched upon her face Her eyes and mouth wide open Slow motion, now the pace “I’m sorry,” said the doctor The words ringing in her ears Her nightmares had come true Her deepest darkest fears. As she slowly left his office With a cloud above her head She struggled to remember Everything he’d said She really can’t remember How she made it home that day But somehow she got there somehow she found her way Her heart was thumping loudly As she made the calls with dread She tried to tell her family What the doctor said Although she couldn’t see them She knew just how they felt Winded by the blow They had all been dealt That night she went to see her And tucked her into bed She hugged her daughter tightly And kissed her on the head She softly said, “I love you” And quietly shut the door The tears welled in her eyes She couldn’t hold back anymore “They’ll make me better, Mummy” Was ringing in her ears her nightmares had come true her deepest darkest fears woke at 7am this morning and had to write this down before I forgot!
