As long I can pray..

Why do we pray?  because there is nothing left to hold

Time and space is made by your higher power, something so precious waiting to be told. 

Why do we pray?

As we are all asking questions every single day, 

Just be kind to one another, Is that too difficult? or does nasty comments make you humble your heart in order to stay?

Why do we pray?

It's to be connected to God, or what you understand him to be, 

I am hopeful that today is humbling, sensitivtiy is always inside of me. 

I keep away from the people I don't want to be around 

It's because they don't bring out my best: so why should I argue and stay?

Rile others is not amusing, as love is the one that heigtens the way. 

It's about love

It's about trying to do your best, 

I am going to a place I no longer belong, 

Stay sober today needs the right people around you, that's how we remain strong.

"Just for today!!!!"

Learning A.A.

​I tried my best
When drinking I thought I was functioning everyday;
The reality is can this disease really go away.

We did this to ourselves, 
We need a sponsor and fellows to speak too,
We learn the steps, and through a sponsor who gives tough love,
The itinerary is acceptance and surrender to a higher power,
And making amends, through the times I would normally cower. 

The learning is powerful
Meetings have a point,
Similarities should be identified, and not the differences!
So go with an open mind, 
And let go as the answer is in the steps…. You’ll find!

A.A. And the other anonymous’s is continual recovering but that is okay,
I know I can speak to somebody when I fall down,
As the past can still be seen.. especially the moments when I acted like a clown.

Birthday Brother

Hello David 

Happy birthday for today, 

I know you are not into this sort of thing, but I thought I write something anyway. 

It's not about the age,

It's about you, 

Thank you for your honesty and gregarious humour which I have always loved, 

You shower me with knowledge,  even Chat GPT wouldn't be able to match

You are loved by many and honoured to have you as a friend and catch.

You take the piss and do not care,

You have diplomacy when required, 

Your knowledge on a nerdy level is something hard to surpass

You are a blessing for me as entertainment of genres enlighten my thinking 

I know you are blessed with a gift you explain well

There is plenty to talk with you about as I feel blessed from the stories you are able to tell.

Wishing you a great day whatever you decide to choose, 

We aren't into this family get together stuff, we I am not, especially now

But I want to wish you a blessed birthday my friend, so God bless you as I end by saying 'ciao'

"Happy birthday David... 😉"

Words..

​Words can be nice 
And words can be love,
Words can give you hope
Words can be manipulating
But most of all your mouth can lead towards debating. 

I prefer to be prayerful
Saying a simple set of words to keep aligned,
Words of spirit give direction
That action to move forward; that sort of detection. 

Words can heal
And words can provide support,
Words of prayer can guide you, a wonderful place to resort. 

Words can provide chaos
Clutter, shouting which is a release,
I am the wordsmith of hope, and that guidance of perennial peace.

The change taking place

​You may not think anything is happening behind the scenes, 
I pray to God that your thoughts are not only taking place in dreams. 

We understand there is a honesty we need to hold onto,
A place of reassurance to find
You are hopeful today and pray from the Body, heart and mind. 

Things do change 
That is fact of life,
Pushing for answers to capture a goal
And remembering it’s God who has your soul.

My aim is to find 
My aim is to love 
My aim is to hold, 
And hold onto hope and the story I have never told.

Diabetes charm

​Another day with this condition, a poem recited as there is another rendition.
Live with this day for one day, 
Others say they can’t, 
When I have a hypo I rather not chant. 

Actually I want to yell
But I need to stay calm, 
I rather to show the angst of a hypoglycaemia which damages the nerves for further harm. 

We came in all shapes and sizes
It’s not a size thing, just something that happens to people like me,
I am in chains with this condition, as insulin produced give me a glimmer to be free. 

But you fight
You don’t speak a word to another soul, 
It’s not personal, I want to have a laugh too
It’s on my silly terms as a controlling diabetes, I am pleased I have this.. not you.

Type 1 Diabetes fighter. 

Bloody condition. (Diabetes condition)

​Sometimes you wondered why this took place, 
This condition of not producing insulin, 
where the pancreas can no longer secretes the hormone to open up the enzyme to allow energy to form
Today is a challenge but hey, be stoic and accept this life based on the norm.

You see, I am stoic, 
I want little stress sent my way, 
People shall try their luck, so it’s in God hands who I need to speak
He says to me to ignore the irritant by turning the other cheek.

My body is tired 
I am not to be admired by living with this dreaded condition, 
Time and time again, needing to calculate, inject of change a cannula every 3 days, 
Can’t I live a normal life without feeling thirsty or tired today.

People have been the bug bear when I have lived with this,
I need to keep my distance from challenges, these comments I can honestly say: I do not miss. 

But at the end of the day, this is diabetes on pancreas level terms, 
And to be brutally honest.. there is still plenty more for me to learn.

“Life with type 1 diabetes… but I get on with it.. on my terms”
