Saturday 2nd May


Thirteen years ago today......
Thursday 2nd May 2013
Surgery on dodgy looking mole
On my left foot
On the fourth toe
Melanoma
Stage 3c

.

The Alien Blob
The mole on my toe
Cancerous tumour
It just had to go

But those cancer cells
Decided to spread
Infected lymph nodes
At the top of my leg

So more surgery
And hospital stays
A clinical trial
Lots of pills for days

Yet, thirteen years later
And life is a breeze
No evidence of
That evil disease

Being vigilant
Is the key for me
That melanoma
Can be so sneaky

Protect your body
Look after your skin
Slap on the sunscreen
Don't let cancer win

Friday 1st May 

Melanoma May
Staying vigilant 
Sunscreen and big hats
Don't be ambivalent 

The sun can be fierce 
Its rays often burn 
A moment of care 
Is what we must learn 

Against unseen foes 
Stand firm with intent 
Protecting your skin 
Is a cause well spent 

From beach to park 
In each moment of play 
The words of prevention 
Guide through the day

So heed the call 
From skies of azure blue
Spread awareness 
Long life to pursue 

It's your largest organ
So protect your skin
Deadly serious 
Don't let melanoma win

Thursday 30th April 

Even when clouds 
Attempt to hide 
Its brilliance 
For a fleeting while 
Sunshine waits 
On the other side 
Patient, persistent 
With a smile 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 29th April 

In the quiet hour 
Of dawn's embrace 
Shadows linger 
Time slows its pace 
A moment captured 
Still yet bright 
World suspended 
Bathed in light 

Pause, faint heart 
Let worries cease 
In the stillness 
Discover peace 
Thoughts like clouds 
Drift far away 
Finding the clarity 
In the grey 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 28th April 

Watching the sunset 
Paint the sky 
Colours that dance 
As the day slips by 

A blush of rose 
Begins to bloom 
Dispelling shadows 
Chasing gloom 

Then streaks of gold 
A vibrant hue
Adorn the heavens 
Fresh and new 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 27th April 

Letting the sun 
Illuminate the mind
With every heartbeat 
Love enshrined 
In its embrace 
Finding a way
A brighter path 
Come what may 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 26th April 

Each morning 
Greeting challenges new 
Courage as armour 
Facing shadows that grew 

Steadying the breath 
Letting fears drift away 
In the calm of the dawn 
Finding the way 

In those slow moments 
There's strength to behold 
A treasure in silence 
More precious than gold 

Gathering the thoughts 
Focusing the sight 
Carving out a path 
Embracing the light 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 25th April 

A smile begins to bloom 
Chasing shadows far away 
Dispelling all the gloom 
And brightening the day 

For a moment, worries cease 
Lost in a golden haze 
Finding inner peace 
Within these sunlit days 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 24th April 

Sunshine dances 
In the air 
Azure skies 
Without a care 
Sunglasses shield 
Eyes from glare 
A simple touch 
A necessary pair 
With each glance 
The world shines bright 
Colours vivid 
Pure delight 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 23rd April 

When the sun shines 
It makes me smile 
Any doubts I have 
Disappear for a while 
The world awakens 
And colours bloom 
In sunlight's glow 
There is no gloom 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum
