I'M Leaving

Got my cases packed guess I’m here to say
I’ll be back some sunny day
Need a break for a few days
Life’s complexities hit us in so many ways

Taking time out and getting on a plane
Need to relax or I’ll go insane
Past few months have been quite tough
Health has suffered been feeling rough

So I’ll say goodbye for a little while
With a cheery wave and a sunny smile
I’ll still be around so do not fret
You’ve not got rid of me quite yet!

I have nearly 200 now Charmaine - can't believe how my husband's cancer journey has brought me on the best journey of my life - i didn't start writing until he had his surgery last November and posted my first poem here in February ! Hugs Jan xxx

Take time out. Forget everything. Chill :) We need to do that from time to time. Enjoy it, Jan. And when you get back, do the same and you will see that you have vacation all year lol

Of course Tim! Wish it was the states I was visiting Tim but it's just the UK for a few days. Wouldn't it be awesome to have a soup party but sadly distances are going to keep us all apart but we can still party here. Hugs Jan xxx
