I've had a bit of a melt down and when I do I seem to put pen to paper so here is a poem describing my thoughts at the time.
I'm a worrier. ...
I have been grieving for so many years,
I've seen it and done it,
Faced up to my fears,
An old man like me,
What I mean is I'm weak,
My problems never ending,
A future so bleak,
Heartache and worry,
Still make there self known,
Like a part in a thriller,
On the twighlight zone,
The smallest of problems,
Will make my mood sink,
Life gets me down,
All so trivial you may think,
I had the best family,
We asked for no more,
Then cancer came knocking,
It broke down the door,
The door was protection,
From all evil outside,
Cancer got through easy,
And found somewhere to hide,
Time passed us by ,
Until it was found,
To late to get rid,
I fell hard to the ground,
Still we would battle,
3years and it won,
Losing my partner and mother to my son,
My partner had cancer,
My dog had it too,
My close uncle is terminal,
What else can we do,
We will be there when he needs us,
Our love is so true,
I can't help but keep thinking,
Who's next me or you.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
