Welsh for love

Eating a Welsh cake Brian’s tucked
Into my work bag, is taking strength
From the love he’s sent with me.

Art for art's sake

I always thought these
fierce, sudden bursts of creativity
were due to steroids
But this time I'm off for a cracked rib
and joy! I've started ink sketching.
This creativity is MINE, not drug-induced
And I'm as proud of it as when,
45 years ago, I passed the art O level
they'd wanted me to give up. HA!

Easter 2018

We measure her words in teaspoons, 
Sometimes as little as a whispered “no thanks”
Or nothing at all, for my entire visit.
Today she woke, smiled brilliantly, 
Said “I love you” and,
“I’ll have a lie down, now”, 
And went back to sleep.
An Easter blessing indeed.
