Autumn

A cool autumn morning leaves are dropping from the trees
different colours Red orange yellow brown and green
How beautiful to look at it’s such a wonderful scene

Dogs are running after squirrels on the grass
I do admire this autumn
Sadly it doesn’t last

Spiders in their webs
Birds quiet in their nests
 I can now see a bird it’s a little robin red breast 
Dancing around like a  little performer
She’s staring at me 
I really do adore her

Turning to the roads
A sweeper is here
Sucking up those dropped off leaves
Until they all disappear

It’s such a beautiful day everything is so pretty
I just love autumn time in this busy city

Rainbow Garden

I Was off work not feeling too well
When covid 19 came along there was no time to dwell
I came back to work and sat in the huddle feeling nervous but I knew  no hugs or a cuddle
Liesl asked if we could sort out the garden  
I wasn’t sure if this task was gunna be a hard one
We all set out to do our bit 
Never did I doubt that we all could do it
We weeded we cleaned we hung things and we potted
A rainbow garden I thought no way 
But we all kept at it doing work and no play
We was asked to make a rainbow out of a plastic bottle
I giggled and  chuckled but I still followed 
I had bottles all over still cutting and spraying 
Please no more i was quietly saying
Our group was posting lots of handmade flowers  
I was impressed our main outpatients team really had powers
I got hubby to make a stencil then up the flowers went 
Wow I was seeing a rainbow just what liesl meant
Everyone joined in with sprays varnish sharpies and paint
This was fun we were all so proud to show off our super  talent 
I watched all the smiles on my colleagues faces
I love this garden as we all got our praises
This lockdown brought out the best in us all 
The closeness the effort we were not gunna fall
I was asked to make a small pot of gold
 I wasn’t sure how to make it but I soon took a hold
Every bodies faces I loved to see 
Our beautiful garden is the place to be
They made one, a flower I knew they were proud
We were all so happy that we were allowed 
We got it all ready for nurses day
 In time for all to join us in a special way
The rainbow is finished looks so beautiful and bright
Everybody that sees it are full of delight
The sun has started shining all the clouds have gone away
We have our magical garden to make us smile each day
Thursday at 8 I’m thinking of all
 I’m so proud of everyone for that round of applause
I wish this corona virus quickly disappears
So we can all get back to reality and stop our tears and fears
A massive thankyou to everyone I cant thank you all enough
For all of your enthusiasm time trust and love
In the meantime we all need to stay strong in our own special team 
Working together in main outpatients is  my favourite dream

Scared

My oh my why did the dog go for me
Was a hazy Sunday morning as early as can be
I started jogging when the dog jumped on my arm
Was frightened as hell but I  just tried to stay calm
Please get it off me now
But the dog clung on and began to growl
It then got off me I thought that it had gone
But within seconds it had pounced straight back upon
I walked away with my hands over my face
Trying to walk at a very brisk pace
I turned around the owner had disappeared 
Not even an apology when she knew I was so scared
I walked away shaking and angry with fear
Just praying that the dog had just disappeared 
All my confidence has gone I don’t want to go back out
Looking in all directions to see if anymore dogs are about
I know I’m being silly but I just can’t let it go
I just wished I hadn’t ever gone jogging as my heart is full of woe.

Pandemic

Where has this year gone 
It’s all flew by way to fast
Was hoping by now that covid wouldn’t last
It has reached its peak it’s got even worse
Hospitals are full making it hard for the drs and nurses 
Some people say it’s not real
Some say it’s fake
I see it all at work everyday 
So listen for goodness sake
If people would have stuck to the rules and done as they were told
Then this pandemic could have took a hold
So now people haven’t listened it’s back to square one
And if everyone does what the government asks this all will soon be gone
No more large groups or staying out late 
Just doing this will make it straight
Shops are closing
Unemployment is high
We all need to help eachother 
Until this pandemic has passed by
Everything is delayed
And Christmas will soon be here
And when Covid has gone we can all celebrate with a drink and a happy cheer

Lockdown

Not a soul in sight
and it’s broad daylight
The odd car goes by
 but nothing else meets the eye

Lockdown is back let’s pray that it works
but tonight is November the 5th no celebrating no display fireworks

I need a jog I need some fresh air
Staying in the house for another month I just cannot bare

When lockdowns over we can all move on
And pray that this virus is forever gone.

Corona

Now corona is settling down
We need to know how to wear P.P.E
I noticed a patient come into clinic 
dressed up like they were having surgery
When you come into the hospital you can wear it to feel safe
But not too much of the doubling up or you will suffocate
I guess it’s worrying from watching the news 
But I can tell you from other Dr’s views
Just wash your hands and be aware, and self distance when you can
This corona virus is here for a while 
so we all just need a plan
So next time you put on P.P.E
You don’t need it from head to toe
As all the workers at the hospital are wearing masks aswell
The hospital is safe so patients really don’t need to fear 
Just step back 2 metres and don’t stand too near
I hope this has helped you all to pass on to your loved ones
Now we can all stay safe and well 
Until the virus is gone.

Mental Health

As I look out of my window
I see nature across the way
Why do I feel like this 
It hurts me everyday
I cry out to be listened to 
but there’s just no help out there
I beg that this mental health will quickly disappear 
I just want to feel normal and be like everyone else with a smile
But inside my head is crying from growing up as a sad child
No tablets can help me this all comes from my heart
I will just keep on trying my best 
Before I fall apart

Winner

Jogging down a road is all I want to do
It helps my mental health
And splits my life in two
I play my music 
And off I go
It helps me whether I’m fast or slow
I have so many issues and I can’t sort them all
But even if I complete half of them
I will not fall
I want to be happy 
This is all that I ask
I know that this is so hard
As it is one massive task
So on I go to the finish sign
Feeling accomplished
Running past the line
I want to be fit and be so proud
And 1 day I will achieve this when my head comes around
