‘Wake up’ – check list …
Am I still breathing?
Yes. It’s a great day!
Am I terminally ill?
No. Your day’s just got a whole lot better!
Is anyone around me about to leave – or terminally ill?
No. Just fantastic! Even better still!
Is the weather going to be cold, wet or windy?
Yes. Maybe with a beautiful crisp – lovely winter’s chill!
Author’s Note…
I never try
To make poems ‘preachy’,
People don’t like
Their poets being ‘teachy!
A melanoma, a life
Six decades old,
You never know –
Just how it will unfold!
A long term Love –
Who decided to depart,
I woke one morning
Knowing the things –
Now
Very precious…
To my heart.
