'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… Written on 3rd May 2023 P stands for Parkinson’s Disease, from which I have suffered since 2015 A BRIAN STRAND PREMIERE CONTEST NO 1214

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

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

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
