FATHERS DAY - 2016

Dad, you handled your disease with such dignity and grace and I was honoured to be a part of your journey and we never really talked about this so I found a poem that I think expresses everything so well. Everybody involved in this journey learned so much from you Dad and you were still teaching life lessons until the very end..

Where Are The Clowns?

Who Said There Would Be Golden Years?

Mine Seemed To Be Filled With Lots of Fears.

Where Are The Clowns. Please Send In The Clowns.

I've Lost My Shoes, Where Are They?

Someone Will Surely Have To Pay.

I Find Things Tucked Into The Wirdest Spots.

Little Things In Little Slots

I Know That Face but I've Lost The Name.

I'll Just Cover it up like I'm Playing a Game!

Where Are The Clowns? Please Send In The Clowns.

Why Am I Here. I Really Don't See.

I Don't Know These People Surrounding Me.

Where is My Home, My Children and Spouse?

And Just Whose Is This Strange House?.

Why Do They Feel I Need To Change?

And Run Water over Me as If I have the Mange.

Don't They Know It's Safer This Way.

Just Let Me Wear These Clothes Day after Day.

They Tell Me I Live Here but I Know it Isn't  So

I Only Want To Be Able To Go.

Surely This Must Be a Bad Dream I Am In.

Tell Me Please If It Wll End and Just When.

Send in The Clowns. Please Send Them In.

I Have People to See and Miles to Go

I Know I am Needed by Someone Somewhere,

I Don't  Want Them To Think I Don't Care.

Please Send In The Clowns.

Love Debbie
