It’s the little things

It’s the small things that elevate the spirit 

Not the material possessions, they are nice but don’t last for long 

It’s more spiritual for me, I was caught up in that world once… for me? I didn’t belong. 

I was more connected to the spirit

Not the struggles of when a car breaks down,

As often on my face those motives would instigate a frown.

The lost ones they are my treasure, that connection 

Belonging to a higher power is more than a fancy car, or house… that hollow perfection. 

I crave peace 

No questions just peace,

The loudness of others fall on deaf ears… in the less.

So as I have my focus 

And stay on the road I choose

The humility inside of me, through God… none of us can lose.

No more…

The pain is over

Suffering has now passed by,

Yes, there is a consequence, but the heavens says ‘hi’.

Thank you for being you

Passing through this earth with much to face,

God now has them, this spiritual realm is what you shall capture through the Father’s grace.

Miss them or not 

The past shall tell its own story,

It’s how you connect with God, through the time of his glory. 

Thank you for the memories 

Thanks for this journey we’ve been together, 

God brought you on this earth to work it through

His son leaving the door open, and for the time we ensue.

“Uncle Chris, friend, husband, parent, grand parent and good soul”

Pump therapy

Wow.. the world through an insulin pump

You look to a better life where insulin reaches internally into your body,

You no longer produce and consequently you have an episode to feel shoddy.

It can be your feet or eyes!

Either of them can be affected.. that’s not a surprise,

Looking for a ‘win, win’ solution

Learning the art of carb counting is not a delusion. 

You can eat what you want 

But you refrain when sugars are high,

Then there are hypos and when that arrow shows the CGM going down

You look to the diabetes Gods and ask today not to drown. 

So today we face a fight

Actually every day you have a tussle,

I workout and train to excess 

and there’s those who say : “can you eat that?” When I thrn reply: “aren’t my internals struggling through a hypoglycaemia test?.”

Life continues 

Life without diabetes is preferred…

You look to stay positive by being the best example of calmness you are able to be

One day there be an artificial pancreas to secrete insulin, and when that day happens we shall eventually become free.

“Living with type 1… isn’t for fun.. the fight continues”

A Poem

A poem can be that talk that you prefer to have

A poem can be transcribed at a drop of a hat.

A poem could be joy to mask the pain

A poem can be free expression where judgement won’t become your bane.

A poem is a conversation one that you can relish 

A poem is humility, one I prefer to embellish.

A poem is the light to lift the soul

A poem remove those negative remarks which once riled your glow.

A poem has a beginning as well as an end 

A poem can have another meaning next time, from another subject we can transcend.

No one like you

You are unique

Beyond the moon and.the stars 

You are gregarious, or sometimes quiet and know how close you are… or how far. 

You are your unique creation

No one quite like you,

You are loved and missed when not around

And when you’ve been lost; by grace you have been found.

The importance is that you are my friend 

A companion and a champion I would stick out to defend.

Remember how great you are

No point listening to the negatives that you portray, 

As long you stay my friend, then we shall all be oka.

How are you?

How are you?

Do you ask that question to those who you should?

Isn’t that courtesy to the people who would?

Thank you for asking me how I am;

I thought it was all about you, as the door was about to slam.

You should treat how you would like to be treated

Otherwise the consequence could become a tad heated.

Be nice but ask others to have a mindful thought

Isn’t the power of Jesus a powerful kindness that has never been bought.

Be nice to others who treat you well 

So not remove yourself from God, from the story which I tell.

Out there

People who live to see the next day 

They wonder how they got there at first 

Capturing feelings through a gulp and thirst.

People make you smile

And in the process put themselves down,

They are worthy too, and should be celebrated rather deem a frown.

Blessed are those who give you hope

They seek the finer things and won’t elope.

Give thanks to God for seeing you through 

Today is a blessed, and it starts with you.
