Hi Ben thank you for your lovely reply on you reading my poem,its just something I like to do,I find it easy to write my feelings and what I'm thinking in poems. I know they also help some of the people on here who read them too,as I generally get a lot of comments from people saying that this resonates with them . So as long as I'm receiving such lovely comments ,I will continue  to write more from time to time. Thank you  to you and all the moderators,nurses and everyone who helps run this wonderful cancer chat forum,it really is a treasure, helping people connect to like minded people, ecspeacialy when they need help in coming to terms with diognosses,,treatments,and loss,and just coping with things. So thank you once again .

They are lovely and I know very helpful to others too. Thank you so much for your kinds words too, it is much appreciated.

Best wishes,

Ben

Hello again and thank you for your lovely reply also. 

I'm so glad you liked it,and yes when I was writing it,I kinda knew it would Resonate with many people on here. 

Ive always found it easier to write what I'm thinking or feeling in verse.

I keep telling myself ill write a book some day,maybe a book of poems,or a story as I used to make up lots of story's when my children were little,and also done the same thing for my grandchildren when I've looked after them .They have always had the choice of me reading an actual published story ,or one that I make up. Always chose one id make up,sometimes I'd give them a choice of what they wanted in the story etc ...mouse ,cat,dog,purse etc,they loved that. Have a great Halloween if you participate in it,I don't as never did as a child. But I know lots do .

Thank you again x.

Hi again

I really think you should publish your collection of poems. I was about to suggest that in my previous reply. You definitely have a talent so don't put it off!!

I am too old to participate in Halloween at 81, although my latest passport photo makes me look as if I have flown in on a broomstick!

Look after yourself and keep up the writing.

Best wishes

Ahh thank you,your comment about your passport made me really laugh,mind you mines not that great I look like a convict  with my mugshot  stare ....lol awful picture of me ha ha ,don't think the next one I get will be any better either . 

Mary ,thank you too .Hope yoir days been good .
