Spiral of Separation

Spiral straight away makes me think
of that time I was on the brink.
Thanks to modern medicine and more,
I am no longer on the floor.

It's love I know that got me through,
especially the love I have for you.
An uphill battle it seemed back then,
now it's hard to remember when,

communication lines were down.
I permanently had a frown.
Anger ate me up inside.
I had to wait for it to subside.

My Precious, my Puddings, my little girls,
the longer, the stronger my love unfurls.
Thanks for waiting for me to return.
Your Mammy's back, my Honeybuns.

I sound like a broken record I'm sure Jan, especially to you, with me from the start of that breakdown. So lovely to see you. Like a guardian angel. Hugs..
