Learning to live with this condition.

Diabetes, the curse of my life
Yet, I embrace it, especially when I have to endure the pain
Yet the struggle shall always be there, 
I am just articulating my message for myself and others, nothing else to share.

The hypos are aggressive
The strain never leaves, 
The glucose monitor explains how a type 1 is feeling, 
I get hypos daily, and just like a chocolate cake, one I am unable to have a chance of consume or be stealing. 

The hypos are aggressive
The hypos are short and can be long, 
They can take a day away from me, in context, 
Wanting to eat all the carbohydrates to raise all this nonsense.

I get through, I have no choice
I tool speak on behalf of fellow diabetics, who too have no choice, 
Yet we get on with life, and if you are like me it’s a struggle
There isn’t a day I don’t have to balance blood sugars to make things right
Today is another day… so us with this condition need to continue to fight.

Wishing you well

Praying for you every day
Praying for you to have your say,
You can’t please everyone, so choose your fights very carefully
If you need to fight at all? I prefer to live life preferably cheerfully. 

Select your conversations in what suits, 
And not everything suits us all!
I am more into optimism, sport, entertainment and those stories to tell
I know the world isn’t like that these days.. but I rather not say ‘that’s sad’, that goes down not so well.

The world is unrest, and it’s ‘us’ causing the endless debate
This kind of behaviour is too intense, 
I rather have a quiet life.. say nothing, and stand on the fence. 

You can’t change peoples opinions, 
You can’t control what others attempt to say, 
I am more into writing these poetic verses, but then again, we are all different… artistic words is where I prefer to stay.

Graduation celebration

To my one and only daughter…I am so proud of you,
Graduation, merited through a blessing that’s shown with great effort and skill, 
This is a new chapter that is blessed with solid hard work.. that is so real. 

You are blessed and so pleased you made this day, 
Nursing is a rewarding role,
You shall be able to put in the effort to help others and you’ll never go slow. 

A mother of 4 beautiful children 
You must be so proud in what you have achieved, 
Praying for you, and along with your tenacity you did make sure you believed. 

You got there through grit, determination and guile, 
As this journey of a new start shows the brilliant person you genuinely are, 
We are showing you with celebrations, simply radiant… now go get ‘em and with that go far.

Stop being hard on you!!!

Don’t be hard on you
You have beaten yourself up enough, so don’t let that impact on another one or two.

Stop, right now! 
No point feeling sorry for you,
You have the chance to breathe today, do you think these problems can automatically go away?

No, not yet! 
Speaking as I find, 
We have all been there, so now simply learn for you to be kind. 

It’s a simple analogy but it can be  hard, because we want others to feel our hurt;
As for letting go??? make it better, and not making it worse…

Why say ‘why?’ When you can ‘try’

Why say ‘why?’’ When trying is what you need to do,
Life can throw some unexpectant’s circumstances at you, especially on the road that we look to ensue.

It’s about learning, moving forward and finding a solution, 
Who said it would be easy? Otherwise we live in a utopia done so freely.

It’s difficult out there 
Especially days that we live now, 
We embrace the situation or throw in the towel.

We need to try, what choice do we have,
We can all panic and say “don’t know” 
The answer is never immediate, simply stop, stay still and then walk… you’ll soon flow!

Staying spiritual

Staying spiritual in a world that appears angry with all points of political views, 
It’s a shame when people have lost their focus on politics more than people who are able to amuse,

It’s about being fair
But that doesn’t seem to be the way these days,
All conversations are hidden in the meeting rooms, as public voices appear a little grey. 

Today is a positive day
Because I didn’t argue with anyone about this or that, 
I suggest lifting a weight above your head, or focus on something spiritually tethered,
These are the times which need to be weathered. 

Spiritual growth takes the politics away,
It’s about humbling your heart, simply for today.

Knock on effect

Think about it!
Your actions has a consequence on others, 
Your act will have an impact for what you can’t see
Wait, think and pray 
That’s the good outcome you want to stay.

Show your strength with patience,
Show your patience with hope,
Don’t allow that impulsive response go down a slippery slope. 

You are great at what you do,
But there are better outcomes waiting to ensue, 
So be kind 
And be patient with what you crave, 
On this earth you are a disciple and no one’s slave. 

Today I feel blessed
And I pray for the same for you as well, 
This journey your embark are the words to your soul,
As long you beset on the righteous path of faith, there is always a wonderment where you can grow.
