Learning Diabetes

This condition can be an almighty struggle,

My pancreas and red blood cells that no longer produce insulin and still be alive is a blessing,

We thank the legends of Banting, McCleod and Co., who did the trials and the testing.

Years ago you would enter the heavens within 6-12 months,

The management of blood sugars is most infuriating,

Yet the outcome to still be here, is most exhilarating. 

If you opt to go on pens or pump, this is the life you need to get use to,

You won’t entirely be on point and you will have a couple of bad days,

Pray that one day for ann internal pancreas which can secrete the insulin and your eyes and feet are able to remain.

Thank you Kings teams, Geraldine, Dorcas, Jane, Helen and others name I have forgot,

And see these few words of gratitude, as it gives this chap’s life a worthy shot. 

“Thank you Diabetes team at Kings College hospital”

Generation to generation

​We all struggle with the generation blend,
Advanced in this era and less advanced before 
Yet in the past we seemed to have more. 

We talk to each other 
Wrote a letter to a dear friend,
You had three or four channels on the television 
And if you wanted to call someone you required permission. 

Yes, there were struggles 
Bigotry was in the mix of those days,
I pray to God for balance as time is one to stay. 

People were hostile 
And hatred is like it was today, 
But we managed the cards that we were dealt, 
As today’s advances is something else.

Brand new day

​Brand new day 
Thank you for the lift, 
This is a pattern to where you take as well as give. 

Love is the key
Love is the hope, and then seek for more,
Life could have been good for you or even a bit sore. 

Surround yourself with positive people 
And remember you have to give that energy back, 
Time here is only temporary and within your inner depths you shan’t slack.

Start your day with prayer or meditation,
Look towards your higher power for gratification,
So today is a blessing 
And that whatever happens afterwards  isn’t messing.

When people aren’t for you…

​When people aren’t for you,
Don’t procrastinate.. no point,  the answer is often in the clue.

Some are argumentative 
Strong opinions which rile a debate, 
People can f.ck off with that notion, I am already in a 2 and 8 (state)🤣.

Health discussion is more my thing, 
talking sport and entertainment to lighten the mind, 
some contents is relatable, this is the kind I rather speak of…  that’s what I find. 

People can be rude
and people can be polite, 
people being balanced and rationalising the right of way
may God be with you… at the end of the day.

A problem that’s worth nothing

​Seeing a problem you are entering into a debate, 
I rather say nothing, that’s my perennial want for my mental state. 

Opinions are just opinions 

Convincing or persuading can cause potential harm,

It’s stepping into the uncomfortable; that kind of thing is challenging and removes any calm.

Politics is not politics now

People are not served to receive what is fair,

People lying to get benefits, and we as parents/guardians advise our children to tell the truth

There’s a contradiction which causes us to fall into that mood. 

Debates are there to tease out the truth, 

I see the point of that

It’s when someone already has their agenda in their head, 

Humility immediately goes of bed.

Encourage one another

​We can only encourage
Even the ones who feel depleted, 
In your higher power you shall never be seen as defeated. 

Continue to fight 
There is always an awaiting light, 
Tomorrow is never promised, despite the greatest of intent, 
Others will try to rile, there always a way to circumvent. 

Today, ohh today!
I waiting for that hug 
Even though I feel I don’t deserve 
I am here for l you Father, the one I truly serve. 

So goodbye for now, until we meet next,
I may distance myself from you,m; you don’t share my pain nor I share yours too, 
I have my time to pray for you and I 
As one day we shall see the light, the trees and the stars before we say that final goodbye.

Dark into the light

​When you are in the dark you don’t believe you will one day see the light
Yet there is hope for us all, it doesn’t matter how we overcome the fight. 

Love is the powerful key
Love is the want we seek but can’t always find,
But there is hope always; you might be able to look yet the reality you seek is often behind. 

The dark is there because God has won’t the fight 
Whoever you perceive God to be, 
Some people are into money and greed, I prefer to have a coffee, cake and sit down and simply being me. 

The dark hasn’t been your friend 
It’s something we all need to walk past,
Today is a new day and remember that word love shall always last.
