Those of you who follow my Blog will have noticed something new crop up. I have started putting some of my poems on here, which I thought I would share. They have been written over several years on a number of topics. I find they are an outlet for me. They come to me randomlyContinue reading “My poems”

To my love…
Will you hold my hand when I’m old and gray? Will you hold my hand when I’m old? Will you kiss my lips as you do today? If I may make so bold… Will you look with love in these eyes of mine… When age begins to show? Will you drink with me that sweetContinue reading “To my love…”
Suddenly
Suddenly my world stood still And suddenly I woke Suddenly my world had changed And I had had a stroke Suddenly a whispered word But in my head I shout Suddenly the words are there But I can’t get them out Suddenly my arm is wrong My leg is not the best And suddenly I’mContinue reading “Suddenly”
Sharing time with family
Today I spent the day with my three grand-daughters and my cousin out Op Shopping. My daughter is raising her children to be independent thinkers who are not slaves to current fashions, but seek their own style. She told me that they enjoyed Op Shopping, so I thought I would take them out and seeContinue reading “Sharing time with family”
Where is the little boy?
Where is the little boy, who learnt to write his name? He stands here now before you, supported by a frame. Where is the little girl, who learnt to tie her lace? She sits there in her chair, with lines upon her face. Where is the little boy, so used to climbing trees? He sitsContinue reading “Where is the little boy?”
Laughter is the best medicine…. So just for a laugh…
This has absolutely nothing to do with Parkinson’s, but I thought I’d share a poem I wrote some years ago inspired by a trip to the local swimming pool. Have you seen your Mother naked? Have you seen your mother naked, her body then unclad? Or your Auntie, or your Grandma.. now that would beContinue reading “Laughter is the best medicine…. So just for a laugh…”
Find an outlet… self care
Tonight I posted a silly poem that I wrote several years ago following a trip to the local swimming pool. It has absolutely nothing to do with Parkinson’s, but just something light-hearted I thought I would share. If it makes someone smile, when maybe they are not having the best day then that would makeContinue reading “Find an outlet… self care”
The importance of connecting…
For my children…. I love you with all my heart I have spoken before in this Blog about how important family is to me. More so now since I was diagnosed with this condition I have christened Parkies. Time spent with my adult children and their children is incredibly important to me now. This weekendContinue reading “The importance of connecting…”
Training for life – Day 3
So, after a busy day at work I met with my new trainer at 3.30pm. We went through the first half of the programme that I am going to be working on. The gym is starting to feel like a comfortable space now. The people who work there are friendly and so far the peopleContinue reading “Training for life – Day 3”
Parkinson’s is a Disease….?
What is a ‘Disease’ by definition? I have tried Dr Google and one response is as follows: ‘Any abnormal condition of the body or part of it, arising from any cause‘. However, to me to label Parkinson’s as a ‘Disease’ infers to me different meanings. I have always thought of something or someone as diseasedContinue reading “Parkinson’s is a Disease….?”
