Diabetes challenge

Daily tests from a type 1 best

Having diabetes is a skill in itself, 

Knowing what you can or, cannot eat

You are the champion of your own dietary destiny

Hence you can find balance in your commonality .

To work out your sugars is maths on its own,

Calculating carbs in grams of 10, is what you initially need to remember 

Every unit lowers bloods by 2 to 3

Hence the magic of the equation simplifies from what I can see.

To hold back that treat is not always a bad thing 

I did struggle initially and sometimes have a lapse,

Yet that is my challenge, not to be too hard on the blood result 

As learning the skill to balance, food, exercise and the mind

Is generally what we all should manage, 

therefore an education is discovered from those who need to avoid their savage.

15 years of challenges which I have learned so much about my health,

Days where the insulin has not balanced right

And sometimes I often thought I was in some kind of plight.

Now the tables has turned

And the maths has arrived through guile and skill.

Do I like having the condition? No...

But at least I know more about a common condition and I can give advice,

Previously I would struggle with what to eat

Which now this isn’t so difficult to compete.

Tears of a tennis champion

What can you say?

Life only get better

Swishing and swating, shot after shot,

This person is something special 

A champion who plays with guile and a strong vessel.

The final as expected went back and forth

The Swiss hit winners from all angles,

The Croatian too, wasn’t looking to be scold

As he had the armoury to make Federer fooled.

The aces, the passion, the glaring view to succeed,

Looking towards a goal 

As these two gladiators started to flow.

Victory could have gone either way, for the truth to be told, 

yet it was Federer’s victory and speech to release,

This great champion of 20 slams shed tears of glory, 

from this latest episode of Federer unfolded story.

“Moral if the story, never quit and never lose heart as the tears of success exudes a wonderful page” x x 🥇

3 words

To say those 3 words can raise a pump to your heart,

A simple diacotomy for a holy brace 

Can take you to a better place.

Warm and friendly words 

To care and bring peace with your heart and mind,

This is aspiration in what we look to find.

Love is to care

Love is to share

Be joyous in harmony’s way

Goodness in strength come from the eyes 

which stay.

A hug, a look and a moment to discover yourself within, 

we all look to find a better view

And to  say those 3 words “I love you’ need no further clue.

Difficulty to change

Patience in skill 

Change of the mind, 

Evolving for understanding 

Learn to fall on a kind landing..

Difficult to see with new eyes

Comprehending something new,

How do I process a new way

It’s difficult but then again it’s comes from what your heart and mind openly say.

Open understanding 

Encompassed with a point of view, 

Maybe it’s time for a change?

All you need to do is listen and, possibly give that person a chance 

It’s better than being impatient 

Like a knife digging lance.

The chance to move on or, a chance to remain still,

Both have there place in life 

And both have there good outcomes to touch,

That is why the world of change can mean so much.

Walk in my shoes

So easy to judge

So easy to hold back 

So easy to have an opinion

But then again, so easy to follow a dominion.

We all have our thoughts 

And we all have our wants

Balance is the desired key, or is it?

Some want to give it all

Or focus on a percentage and have reserved it, if we box clever we shall obvious deserve it.

Peace and love

Anger and hate

Elements of an equation 

These all arrive from our traits.

When all is said and done 

We look at the trials we have faced and overcome,

Even when the place looks dark and scary

Don’t knock your abilities for they need to be used 

God bless one and all as these words are to make you think and be amused. xxxx

Greatest day of my life

Perplexed, angry and bemused

Not a good start to a poem you’ll find 

Actually I probably lose my motive to be kind. 

One day I was hit by bolt of a pray

I Didn’t understand what happened to I,

I then was wondering what to do.. maybe I should sign?

The speck of the eye and the log of your brothers eye came to the fore,

Glory to the almighty, hence I wanted to reach the spiritual core.

My aim was to find balance, humbleness and peace,

Now my perspective has changed

As I now know how to condem the evil beast. 

Like us all,  I have my good and times to face,

Yet with the almighty inside me 

There is spiritual direction and balanced to see.

Smile at the world

We look and can I see the world is a tired place

People rushing here and there

Stresses so much, it’s difficult to bear.

I smile with glorious faith and protection

Maybe it’s hard to understand,

As sometimes a smile can also have an affection.

Each day will pose a challenge

I push my body to a inner limit,

Releasing all those endorphins 

Will bin negativity within it.

We try hard to deflect negative souls

Personally I pray for them even when it’s hard

As their story may be reflective on I,

Yet when all is said and done I rather raise the world a smile..., instead of an

Unhappy cry xx

Amen 🙏🏾
