One bad day as a carer
My husband has many physical problems and has some good days, some bad days. I wrote the poem below on one of our bad days. Once I had put pen to paper I felt fine! I know I'm not alone having days and thoughts like this.
What's His mood today
Must be careful what I say
Watch his face for a sign
Is he happy is he down
What's His mood today
Must try harder, must be kinder
Nod, agree, let things be
What's his mood today
What's My mood today
Let my mind have flights of fancy
No one sees your mind
Fly away to far flung places
Smiling faces
Sea and sand
Ice cold drink, in my hand
That's My mood today!
