My Daddy has a stoma, I think we'll call him Stu
And a little bag called Colin who collects up all his poo.

My Daddy started bleeding when he went to use the loo,
So he went to see the Doctor who decided what to do.

"An operation is best I think to sort this tumour out
Mr Harmston is the best there is of that I have no doubt”.

The operation went very well where Stu and Colin arrived,
My Daddy stayed in hospital to rest his weary eyes.

As days went by the pain grew less and Stu began to work,
Colin took some of the load and Daddy was over the worst.

"Home at last” my Daddy said after two weeks in a bed,
“I'll get some rest and build my strength in the weeks and months ahead”.

Stu and Colin work side by side and now Daddy is strong,
Thanks to all the kind and caring staff Daddy's back where he belongs.

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
