Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

'tis So Many Months

‘Tis so many months since poems I wrote
for me life has not been so easy
The dreaded P is now moving on 
Leaving me sad and feeling so bad 
My walking now causing concerns
so slow like the slowest of snails
My brain it seems very muddled 
often feeling confused and befuddled 

As I glance up above through my window
The sun doth shine down upon me
The moon in the sky still sends me her love
and great comfort I get from the sea

So now without further ado
To my dear PS friends I tell you
so sorry to not read your poetry 
because of the dreaded 'P'
for me it was truly and utterly wrong
Now decided that P will not win
and to P ~ I will never give in

So sat in my chair
I say a small prayer
hoping that you are all still here…

P stands for Parkinson’s Disease, from which I have suffered since 2015

Gordon Mcconnell May 29, 2023 at 1:06 PM Such a fine piece Ann penned with lovely rhyme and flow roo. So sorry the P has worsened again, do hope you can cope with it but be assured of my prayers for you at this difficult time. Blessings always, Gordon xx Ann Gilmour June 13, 2023 at 10:34 AM Bless you dear Gordon for your kind words. I have good days and bad days but of course it is degenerative and therefore will worsen. I try to keep positive, but because I am on my own this is not always possible. However, writing poetry does take me to a different place and can be so therapeutic. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Shirley Hawkins May 7, 2023 at 5:35 PM Oh! Dear Ann I am so sorry to hear you are suffering from P. I hope you are well cared for and you are as comfortable as possible. I look forward to reading more of your poems on PS. I find it very therapeutic. I hope your day will be as pleasant as possible. Best wishes, Take care, Shirley Ann Gilmour May 8, 2023 at 4:55 AM Dear Shirley thank you so much for your kind message. I have many poems on PS, but in the last few months I stopped writing as things were getting so much worse with P, however, I hope that my muse will return and writing will take my mind off other things...with kindest thoughts Ann xx
