Tomorrow a Poem.

Tomorrow is a new day,
Full of new promises,
When you rush through the day,
Tomorrow is always there to say,
Don't worry tomorrow it can be done,
Tomorrow we can try again.

Tomorrow's exciting promise,
Every morning when you wake.
A bit more time to finish today.
More time to play
They say Don't leave till tomorrow,
Why you can do today.

Sometimes tomorrow seems the same.
Tomorrow is so different from today.
No joy before you settle down,
Tomorrow you'll still feel like you'll drown.
What if tomorrow never came?
What if today was the end.

Would you regret the things you put off?
Would you ponder if that phonecall,
That text, that knock on the door,
Shouldn't have been tomorrow's chore?
Would you beg for another tomorrow?
Would you mourn your yesterday.

Today someone needs you.
That phone call can't wait.
A chat, a cuddle, a hand to hold,
Responding may mean more than gold.
So don't put it off, don't delay.
Someone's tomorrows might end today.

Elusive Recovery

How do you get better? How do you recover? Do you suddenly wake with hope? Do you feel differently? Do you just notice after it has happened? What is recovery? Is recovery real?  How long does recovery take? Is it even possible? How will I know what recovery looks like? Why does it take so long? So long I gave up hope. What do I need to do now? To end this nightmare forever. I don't know how much longer I can bear this. How can I continue? To face another day. It feels like this will never end. They say it happens slowly. That recovery is possible for me. Do they really know that? Can it really be true? Is recovery possible? Is there a flicker of hope? Or is it just a fairy tale that's not truth? Each day that passes by, Hope slips further away. I feel this is life forever. The tunnel light seems dimmer. No hope, no light, just darkness forever more. I cannot see past this. The pain overwhelms me. I'm deep in a pit of despair. Recovery is a ...

Coming home

Pretty much exactly 5 months after my last church attendance I returned today. Since my last time I had only seen 3 people from the congregation face to face. People who live in my town. Who I've seen at least twice a week for years, I'd seen so few of them. Children had grown. Newborn babies now starting to move. Barely bumps now earth side. There were a few new faces too. We decided to go today because we had been invited for Sunday lunch by a couple from church. The sweet, kind hearted, godly doctor who was on duty the weekend I was first taken to hospital. I didn't give myself a choice this morning. I'd set up an excuse not to go for lunch already. Our car was broken. It was true, it was, but I knew it would be fixed in time to go. So I got up and we went. I'd spoken with my counsellor about not feeling it was my home any longer. That I wasn't part of the fellowship anymore. That physically I didn't know where to sit. Our usual seats, middle,front, with ...

Excluded

I wasn't prepared to feel this way. I wasn't prepared to feel close to tears when my child came home from your care. I wasn't prepared to pretend to smile at his work and songs and joy whilst burying the physical ache in my chest. I wasn't expecting to feel this exhausted and this alone. I wasn't expecting that yet another professional questioning your judgements and decision making to make me feel more conflicted then ever. I wasn't expecting to still feel so heartbroken after all this time. To miss the you. To miss the hard work. To miss me. I wasn't expecting this to happen at all though. So I guess it shouldn't be a surprise. I don't know what happens now.
