I’m seeing my daughter today,
The grandchildren will play
In their own respective way,
I love them all and have fun
As my mental battle is won.
My daughter has pride in me
Not suffering and acting mentally –
Being hospital free for an eternity.
I’m taking my grandson out
To see his loving grandmother,
She is keenly, piously devout
By loving him with fervour.
We all have good relations
Adhering to supplications.

A sonnet.
Myself and my grandson out shopping.
Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
Hope you had a great time with your daughter and grandson.
ReplyDeleteYou so deserve it and good luck fro ALL your futures.
I haven't seen my eldest son in 8 yrs or his three children not well into their teens or my daughter and her son in five years. My youngest son resides in Spain and last saw him last Novemeber. I miss my family but I can hold my head high knowing I have done my best.
Good luck Andrew.
Yvonne.
Thank you for your kind words. Sorry a lot of your family live away! My daughter only lives a short car drive away! She used to live in another town, and I didn't get to see her much then, which was a shame as she means the world to me. We do what we can for our children. I'm glad you have a family to love, regardless of time and space! Love love, Andrew. Bye.
DeleteHope your day was as good as this sonnet.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martin - and it was. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
DeleteEvery time I read about your successful battle with mental illness, I feel happy for you, but also a little sad. Mental illness has plagued my family for generations. I haven't shared much of this on my blog, but my father struggled with mental illness much of his adult life, and I have had my own struggles. I'm doing well because of the better treatment and medicine available today, but it makes me sad to think of how my father suffered and did not have access to more enlightened and effective treatment. I enjoyed your sonnet and the photo! Take care, my poetic friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words. I'm glad I'm not suffering like I used to, I've experienced some really scary moments! Not nice at all. The meds I'm on have been a great success, except for the sleepy side-effects. Sorry you have suffered yourself with your own problems and your father's. Glad you have created the right balance with meds and living your life. Blessing to you my sweet-friend. Glad you enjoyed it. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
