Crying Over Spilt Tea. This morning I spilt a full cup of tea. Over the bed;. My hand simply gave way. Including myself, and. You, the stoical carer. Extra chores, and a time schedule. That used to belong to me,. Rose calmly to the challenge,. Stripped the bed,. Placed stained linen carefully to soak. And went out the door. To collect our grandson. From the corner of my eye. I could see it – disability. Sitting on the sidelines. Gloating, large as life. With a smugness I could have slapped. When thoughtl...

Winter – (sonnet). How sad and pale the tree is looking now. Her faded skin, dry bones that now pierce through. And shiver every twig along the bough. As if she dreads what now may be her due. Does she grieve the loss of summer’s face. When filled with life she whispered with the breeze,. Or simply bow her head with gentle grace. To brilliance that waits beneath to ease. Our aching hearts, for all, it seems, is dead. There is no rush, the earth will slowly move. And once again her certainty will prove.

Afternoon at The Equestrian Centre for Disabled Riding. Equestrian Centre for Disabled Riding. My new friend Paddy. My New Friend Paddy. We have a horse ready for you. But life is different now and I want rid of the label that I stamped firmly upon myself the day I was diagnosed, the one that said Fragile, handle with care . I felt alive for the first time in two years. After the lesson was over I gave Paddy a carrot to say thank you and stroked his head;. For Theodore, aged 3. Love is the key. All the o...

Gratitude for simple things. For the girl who has everything. She looks at him, frowns,. Unties the frayed festive ribbon. And peels away crinkled brown paper. The box is old, hardly used,. An heirloom, perhaps;. Inside, two silver napkin rings. A little tarnished,. Nestling in blue satin. But I don’t have everything;. I don’t have anything. You have a warm heart. He rolls up layers of paper towels,. Slots them deftly through the rings;. She opens a can of soup. In the writing group I attend weekly.

As you nestle cosily,. A soothing massage on my lap,. I recall the day I brought you home. I had driven, over the limit,. To see a friend after her desperate. Call for help; we were two of a kind,. Lost in a foreign hostile land. I found her lying on a bed. Surrounded by a swarm of. Who had lost their map. You stumbled over to me at the. Edge of the bed, so small and vulnerable,. Eyes like tiny fallen stars. But you didn’t know why. I held you in one cupped hand,. Stroked your innocent head with the other.

I say quietly,. It’s only a plastic bag. But he isn’t convinced,. Goes to his bed. Then I bring out the Hoover;. He rushes into the back room. I massage his silky head. As he escapes into sleep,. Whimpers his way to a safer place. Until he fireworks begin and. He is at my feel all aquiver. I tell him I understand the firework thing;. They make me nervous too. I gently lift his ear, whisper,. So the cats can’t hear). I do understand you know,. How frightening life can be,. About courage, and how. Bevelled...
