Thursday 12th October
I’m always thinking of you
Keeping you so close, too
I know we’re far apart
But you’re here in my heart
Sending you all my love
My Angel, living above
Together forever
And ever, and ever
Sweetheart son
Eternally young
Wednesday 11th October
Sadness every day
Grief everywhere
Even when I’m happy
Hidden pain is there
Sorrow around the corner
Anguish in daily tasks
Even when I try hard
I hide behind my masks
Love you forever
Forget you never
Treasured Angel son
Now forever young
Tuesday 10th October
Every night I wish
Every night I dream
Every night I hope
Every night, silently scream
Every day I watch
Every day I wait
Every day I look
Every day, contemplate
Each night I wish, dream and hope
Daily I watch, wait, and look for you
Trying to find something, anything, a sign
So we can laugh and hug like we used to
Missing you poppet

Monday 9th October
So many days are difficult
When weighed down with sorrow
Then I recall happy memories
To help me carry on tomorrow
Pulling on that cheerful mask
When I’m feeling really low
Takes quite a bit of effort
I’m sure that’s something you know
Putting one foot in front of another
To hide sadness is hard work, though
I must do it for you, my darling
I’m always looking for that rainbow
Love you my Angel
Sweetheart son
Sunday 8th October
Each and every step forward
Is like a step further away
Like I’m leaving you behind
But I tried to make you stay
I just need to turn around
All those images to replay
Wish I could run back to you
Down Memory Lane every day
Miss you my Angel
Love you to the moon and back
Way beyond the stars
Saturday 7th October
Well, I wasn’t expecting that……
I had my yearly dermatology appointment today ~ yes I know, I thought it strange for a clinic at the hospital to be open at the weekend, but there we go. Normally these appointments are pretty quick…… “Strip off, and let’s check your skin….All’s good, see you next year…..”
But oh no, it was “Whoops, don’t like the look of that one on your back, we’ll take it off, as a precaution, right here, right now, into theatre you must go……..”.
So I’ve had surgery: local anaesthetic, an excision, with dissolvable deep stitches, and surface stitches which will come out in ten days time.
Wasn’t expecting that…….
But it is good to be looked after, and anything suspicious, or dodgy, then the ‘alien blob’ must be cut out and sent off to be biopsied, with results taking about two weeks.

Thinking about you, poppet
Fly high my darling
Love you forever
Friday 6th October
Golden sand glistens
Sunlight plays on the undulations
Silver slivers twinkle
On hidden underground crustaceans
Low tide coruscation
Making many coloured variations
Missing you daily
Thinking of you always
Loving you forever
