Nighttime

Standard

Nighttime dreams of drowning

Beneath the oceans of obscurity

Below those choppy, cresting waves

Are memories of childhood purity

Sucked down in subterranean seas

Trying to shake off insecurity

I search for your smiling, angel face

To bring us together in family unity

.

Missing you sweetheart

Beloved Angel son

A sunny Porthmeor Beach

But surely not that warm to go swimming wearing just shorts??

I didn’t ask

Sunday 18th March

I didn’t ask for memories

We were having so much fun

I thought we’d have more time

More adventures under the sun

.

I didn’t want memories

I didn’t think I’d need them

Didn’t realise what they’d be

Each one is now a priceless gem

.

I didn’t assume they’d be memories

Those precious moments in time

Caught forever on camera

Or locked into that heart of mine

.

And now that’s what you are

A beautiful, treasured memory

My dearest, darling Angel son

Soaring high and flying free.

Cold and grey, but none of the promised snow

My first walk into town for a week, since dislocating my toe

I am not the same

Friday 16th March

.

Grief is universal

It’s experience

So very personal

.

Today I’m purposeful

And yet tomorrow

Totally irrational

.

Seemingly practical

But I’m really

Absolutely emotional

.

Sometimes sociable

Could be seen as

Quite unapproachable

.

It’s because I miss you my darling

Everything has changed

I am not the same

Eeeewwwww Part 2

Standard

Thursday 15th March

.

A CT, firstly

Then sigmoidoscopy

Now, “Oh whoopee”

A polypectomy

What can that be?

Will it hurt me?

Pain relief IV

But have to agree

To the tomography

Should be polyp free

Removed from my body

Need that cup of tea

Or glass of chablis

Perhaps a G and T

Hopefully I won’t be

A great big, crybaby

.

Thinking of you as always

Love you sweetheart

Precious Angel son
