Surgery on dodgy looking mole
On my left foot
On the fourth toe
Melanoma
Stage 3c
.
The mole on my toe
Just started to grow
And I did not know
It would change me so
Melanoma, Ohh!
Spreading to and fro
Lymph nodes, tallyho
Recovery, slow
No more suntan glow
Seek shade, way to go
Fight for tomorrow
Challenge this foe
Love you both so much
Always and forever
Precious sons

Sunday 1st 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.
Love you both so much
My darling sons

Saturday 30th April
Breathe
And slow down
View
Just don't frown
Dwell
Look around
Rest
Fix the crown
Calm
Gentle sound
Life
Plans unbound
Love you both so much
Always and forever
Precious sons

Friday 29th April
Observing surroundings
Watchful and vigilant
Ready to steal ice creams
Unaware participant
He has his eye on you
Seemingly innocent
Swooping silently
Behaviour's insolent
Love you both so much
Precious sons

Thursday 28th April
I'm looking for reasons
To chase away demons
Then balance, we're evens
In those changing seasons
Love you both so much
Forever and always
Treasured sons

Wednesday 27th April
So, yesterday is over
But there's many memories
Filling up my heart and mind
They're special accessories
I do collect them avidly
Like colourful tapestries
Catalogued so carefully
I'm keeping our legacies
Love you both so much
Forever and always
My darling sons

Tuesday 26th April
Never too far away from me
Locked safely in a special place
Transporting thoughts of love and joy
A bond that we can surely trace
Love you both so much
Treasured sons

Monday 25th April
Those narrow streets
Of cobbled stone
For centuries
Travellers unknown
Have walked upon
Where winds have blown
Pirates, smugglers
Their secrets flown
Love you both so much
Precious sons

Sunday 24th April
Up, up and away
Above the skies of grey
Where the sun's shining
With the angels at play
That's where I imagine
You fly everyday
No worrisome troubles
And all is okay
Love you both so much
Treasured sons

Saturday 23rd April
A chilly wind
Makes your cheeks sting
Most unlike Spring
In time should bring
Warm colouring
Blue skies, birds sing
Walking with zing
A sunshine thing
Love you both so much
Precious sons
