When in doubt
(or stressed)
pick flowers and bring inside
My Gardenia Radicans is flowering
and they are such sweet clean looking flowers
with such a strong perfume
I make sure there is always at least one bloom
in the little vase on the kitchen windowsill
The perfume floats through the house
bringing the outside inside
This past weekend I’ve had to deal with very mixed feelings
knowing my eldest son
was waiting for a biopsy report
(to do with a man’s disease)
I have never entertained the idea that one of my children
could become seriously ill
sick enough to maybe die
When he told me he had to have this biopsy
I became quite confused
and literally wandered round in circles
He is only 47 and to me is still my tiny firstborn
with all his life in front of him
Now the result is in -all is well
Nothing nasty found
So how do I get rid of this guilty feeling
of asking
‘Why him’
So many people have Cancer and are able to cope
yet at the first mention of the disease
I went to pieces
