When I joined a trial for an online course in the autumn of 2013 I had no idea that I would make lasting friendships, we have ups and downs but still stand together and in a week when one amongst us is struggling, my aunt has successfully had another lung tumour removed and the cat will be having a suspicious lumpectomy (even my cat may have cancer, don’t laugh!) I think of that special friendship with gratitude...
You're holding on,
and we are too
a snail's trail,
what can we do?
The smiles,
beguiles,
the miles and miles
of time
are mine,
yet still you shine.
Such antics,
with a comic rhyme...
I miss the diss',
a match
for me
I'll never be
a patch,
on such a sassy lass.
you're always more,
still keeping score,
inside my soul,
my life, my heart,
an honour
to still play a part…
