Dear Autumn

80.

Dear Autumn,
It's nice to have you here again
The coldness of your breath
The brightness of your falling leaves
So magical in their death

Dear Autumn,
You weep your tears so publicly
For all of us to feel
Although we frown at naked trees  
We wish for you to heal

Dear Autumn,
The pink skies that you wake us with
May be a shepherds warning
I ask you with hasted breath 
Please keep them to bring the dawn in

Dear Autumn,
As we say goodbye to your sister summer
With rain and clouds and sometimes thunder 
We welcome you with warmth and laughter 
With the blankets to fill our families under

Dear Autumn,
You bring us closer to the end of the year 
Our days past with love and fear
As we reflect to see how far we've come
I'll enjoy you Autumn, you're my favourite one

  1. Dear Beth.
    We have exchanged some conversation before. I just want to say "What a lovely young woman you are".
    You and your family have suffered at the expense of your Dads disease, MND is a terrible disease for any one to have to suffer. I think that through your 'Utube video, and your sweet poems you have coped very well. Your video and your poetry will help others to cope as well, of that I am sure.
    I'm sure others will join my sentiments when I say "Thank you Beth you're a star xx

My letter to MND

22. Dear you, I want to start off by saying I don't like you. From the day we have met all you have done is cause pain, you have caused misery! That is all you do for everyone you meet. You find them at their best and demolish their whole being. You break them down to the point where there is no fight left, but they will fight you until the very end knowing they will never win. One day they will win, one day we will all break YOU down so you're not here any more. None of us like you, but you bring us all closer together. You make us realise that we can't go on just floating by, you make us realise that time is the most precious thing any one in the world has got! And with that precious time we have to make as many wonderful memories possible, we have to tackle all the hurdles you throw at us so that you know we will stick together and fight you. I have the displeasure of knowing you, so many others have the displeasure of living  with you. For those I can't i...

Arsenal, Tears and Happiness!

26. We meet again my loves, how ya diddling? I'm good, I have two weeks off work now :D nothing major is planned...oh wait HARRY POTTER STUDIOS and bonfire night, I love bonfire night, the magic of the fireworks and sparklers is just so beautiful. I will definitely try and get some pictures of the fireworks and sparklers of the bonfire I'm planning on going too.  Is it just in the UK we celebrate bonfire night?  I'm currently listening Marmozets - Captivate You, I've heard this band quite a lot on Kerrang radio and just love this song, it gets me bouncing around in my seat. I downloaded their album and it's pretty belting I have to say! It was on repeat everyday this past week on the bus, a definite boost before work.  I don't know if I told you guys that my Dads best friend, Steve, contacted Arsenal (my Dad is obsessed) and explained his situation and how much he loves the team and always has done, and they wrote him back to say they would send Dad...

Our story with MND so far..

6.  These are my feelings and my thoughts, no one else's, just mine. In June 2013 my Dad was dealt the card of Motor Neurone Disease, a horrible disease. MND attacks the central nervous system and causes muscles to weaken and waste away. People with MND have to struggle everyday with activities that wouldn't have affected them before. It can be different with each person but sadly the outcome is always the same, there are no survivors, only true fighters! There is no cure... In some cases of MND the person can also have Frontotemporal Dementia. A less common form of dementia but nevertheless devastating. My Dad also has this... I first realised that something wasn't quite right around January 2013, my dad and I were sat in a cafe and he couldn't open a folded lottery ticket my exact words to him were "can't you use for hands or something" his reply was "no, my hand has got really weak" I asked him to make a fist with his right han...
