Scanxiety

Standard
Wednesday 9th November 

It's another year
And scan time's here
Clinical trial
Different lifestyle

Nurse so caring
Always sharing
Fears to dispel
Inner thoughts dwell

Uncertainty
Hangs heavily
Settling in
Mind tailspin

What works for one
Not everyone
Hope for the best
With every test

Waiting for results
Quickening pulse
Scary and tense
Worry's immense

So, vigilance
And surveillance
A sneaky beast
Heed changes at least

Melanoma
Melanoia
Scanxiety
Anxiety

Love you both so much

Driving to Exeter this morning
Sunshine, showers and rainbows
Avoiding traffic on the main road, and finding a different, pretty route
Appointments over, heading back home
Sun going down

Sunshine and showers

Standard
Tuesday 8th November 

Sunshine and showers
Rainbows and thunder
Changeable weather
Beauty and wonder

Love you both so much
Precious sons

Rainbow from the coffee shop this morning
A moody Porthmeor Beach
Quite a few surfers in the waves
Hurry up or we’ll get wet
Afternoon coffee views over the harbour

Hoping

Standard
Monday 7th November 

Hoping for a better day
Make rain and grey go away
Turn up the music, dance and play
Then happiness might come to stay

Love you both so much
Precious sons

Imagination

Standard
Sunday 6th November 

Imagination
Transported elsewhere
Visualisation
No need for an airfare

Stargazing
Close your eyes if you dare
Daydreaming
Swiftly takes me there

Creativity
So many stories to share
And fantasy
From experience, I declare

Ingenuity
Creating adventures everywhere
Mental agility
In my mind, I'll be there

Love you both so much
Beloved sons

Conclusion

Standard
Saturday 5th November 

Magic Freedom Adventure
From chaos and confusion

To calm composure and clarity
Shaken free from any delusion

Ably facing the world head-on
Whilst finding a solution

Plus a route to reality
Towards a happy conclusion

Love you both so much

Faithfully

Standard
Friday 4th November 

Doing what makes you happy...
So easy to say
So hard to do
Face the day
Know that it's true

You know what should be done...
Try to let go
Quietly move on
It hurts though
Don't dwell upon

Have done with chasing answers...
Accept what was
Graciously
Because, because
Love faithfully

Love you both so much
Beloved sons

Lost

Standard
Thursday 3rd November 

Lost in the chaos
A little disoriented
Darkness descends
Nightmares demented
Shutting them out
Turbulence prevented

Love you both so much

Blue skies this morning, before the deluge this afternoon

Throughout the day

Standard
Wednesday 2nd November 

Throughout the day
The incessant rain
Like depressing tears
Down a window pane
Colourless skies
Dampening stain
Heavy-hearted clouds
Slipping down the drain

Love you both so much
Precious sons

Sister’s birthday

Standard

Family photos
Life's full of fun

Love you both so much
