Tuesday 26th May 

Back in Tavira 
Lazy wandering 
Enjoying the pace 
Life pondering

Love you so much 

Tuesday 26th May 

Wall to wall sunshine, bodies on the beach 
Cooking away nicely, "Sunscreen!" I beseech 

Vitamin D is necessary, please don't get me wrong 
But frying like a lobster, damage could be life long 

So many burnt shoulders, peeling, unsightly skin 
D'you know what you've done? What's going on, within? 

Melanoma; skin cancer, might not happen today 
But a few years down the line, it'll be nothing to downplay 

You can't just cut it out, for it's a sneaky beast 
Lying dormant, then, like a devil, released 

Taking over your life, biopsies, skin grafts 
Scans and appointments, normality's in the past 

Just always worrying, asking when it will return 
Scanxiety, melanoia, a real cause for concern 

So slap on some sunscreen, and wear a big hat 
Seek shade when it's hot, prevention's where it's at 

Melanoma awareness throughout the month of May 
But it mustn't stop here, care for your skin everyday

Monday 25th May 

Here we go again 
For another souvenir 
A pretty fridge magnet
That's why we come here
Sunshine and blue skies 
And ice cold beer
Soft sandy beaches
Sea crystal clear

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum 

Monday 25th May 

In Melanoma May 
It's best to be wise 
With sunscreen, big hats 
Shielding from the skies 

Be vigilant daily 
Do not turn away 
Embrace healthy habits 
Keep worries at bay

Sunday 24th May 

In sunlit days 
Of youth we’d gleam 
Chasing a tan 
A golden dream 
With laughter ringing 
In the air 
We sought the warmth 
Without a care 
Then whispers turned 
To anxious dread 
As sunlight brought 
A fear instead 
The innocence 
Began to wane 
When cancer brought 
Its silent pain

Saturday 23rd M6

That golden orb 
A giver of all life 
Can also bring 
A silent, hidden strife 

A speck, a mark 
That changes on the skin 
A tiny seed 
Where larger woes begin 

Let sunscreen’s shield 
Hat’s embracing brim 
Be defenses strong 
Against sun’s wild whim

Friday 22nd May 

Look after your skin
Treat it with care
Shade from the sun
The heat and the glare
Melanoma kills
Just be aware
Take it seriously 
Knowledge I share

Thursday 21st May 

Get naked 
Check your skin 
Look for changes 
Don't let cancer win 

Don't ignore signs 
That nature shows 
Look to the mirror 
And shed your clothes 

A mole or spot 
Take note today 
Go get it checked 
Do not delay 

Health, a journey 
A path we take 
Vigilance daily 
A promise to make

Wednesday 20th May 

Sunbeams danced 
A golden hue
Upon the skin 
Bright and true 

Living life  
Beneath its gaze 
Through summer's heat 
And hazy days 

Yet lurking there 
A silent foe 
A shadow whispered 
Soft and low 

A change unseen 
A growing blight 
Could dim the future 
Steal the light 

So each morning 
Come what may 
Apply sunscreen 
Just don't delay

Tuesday 19th May 

Your skin, a cloak 
You always wear 
So tend it well 
With loving care 

The sun's harsh rays 
Can do you harm 
Protect its youth 
Keep its charm 

For every day 
Throughout the years 
The way you look 
Shouldn't end in tears
