Can I trust him

To get things right?

There's been occasions,

When he caused me fright.

Is he reliable

Will he be there

When I'm ill

And need his care.

Will he remember

Which pills I take?

Always be there

When I awake.

Have good road manners,

Drive with care?

Keep me safe

Till we get there?

I'm pretty sure

None of those can be

Because that silly bugger's

Me!

Ah but you don't have to pay him the minimum wage and when your private bits need a good scrubbing it will be embarrassment free. :) x

I'm afraid that last one isn't true. 🙄

I love your poetry. Sometimes how I have felt. My husband would ask me if I wanted him to drive me to the hospital and I told him it was to late for that, I couldn't wait for him to get dressed, that I was sure to die before he could get me to the hospital, was it true, I don't know but I felt it was sometimes I thought I would die while he was answering questions for the 911 operator. So many questions. I have calmed down since then but didn't think I ever would.

You must learn to stay calm, easier said than done. At my age there's an inevitability about it all, almost 'what took you so long'?. 😉

I used to struggle and panic. Then I realised it achieved nothing and decided to ignore my COPD and relax.😁

The fact that I couldn't control it started to try things that would calm me down if I was out with my sister she would just keep rubbing my back and whisper to me. If I was alone I would try different breathing techniques. I had to be on medication for about a year anti panic medicine but my doctor made me get off because she thought I would get Alzheimer's disease. It was horrible being out of control. Doing a lot better now. Thank you.

Still struggling to get away on my first trip of the year SH. Camper needs her MOT next week (hope she doesn't let me down,) then health appointment, then the children need to be back at school. Then surely, if there’s any justice in the world, we’ll be on our way.🙄

We will all wish you Bon Voyage Cap'n and wave woefully - unless you can commit to a poem per day. . . ?

Ha ha always looking forward to your poems brightens up my day now winter is coming. Thanks Don. Give Midge a big hug from me and a kiss on the wet nose.

in reply to kpm346

Thank you, the hug won’t be a problem, though Midge is not a huggie dog, but the kiss on the wet nose is a step too far. 😂
