Adrian...From A Poet, To A Poet!


Oh My Goodness Gracious!
  
He wrote and sent a poem...
Especially to me!
All about, wouldn't you know...
This patch, called H.R.T.!
  
Do we have problems in the family...?
My surgeon asked of me,
Any bad health worries... ?
Well now, errrm, let me see...
  
My father had a stroke,
High blood pressure don't you know,
His family all have heart problems,
What a flippin' show!
  
Angina and heart disease...
On both my parents side,
Oh dear me, what a mess,
A lot of them have died!
  
Now they told me at the hospital,
That I was at a risk or two...
From heart disease and other stuff,
That's why I sent the poem to you!
  
You see, this is my concern...
The problem I had...that you put right!
I'm terrified in case it happens again!
Because I gave me such a fright!
  
Now you know what that was,
And because this is on my web site...
I dare not make it known...
Cos blimey' they'd get a fright!
  
And though my life has altered lately,
And a life like that will no more come to pass,
I still would be scared of it happening,
That's why the HRT is on my ass!
  
(It rhymed)!
  
Everyone tells me don't judge all by one,
For they say that I won't die alone,
But I can't see me with anyone else,
No, I think I'll stay safe in my home!
  
But what if they are right?
And what if I could have a life again?
If I didn't have the H.R.T.
Would it make 'that' happen again?

Oh dear me - Dear Doctor,
I'm begging on my knees...
Help me out of this nightmare,
Help me ease this worried mind...please!
  
If you tell me that it's safe to use,
Then that will do for me!
Cos after all, when said and done,
You are 'the' man to see!
  
You know I think highly of you,
And have praise for all you do!
I trust your word, your wisdom,
After all, God sent me right to you!
  
So tell me dear Adrian...
What will my resolve be?
Taking into account what we've said,
Are the risks a problem to me?
  
I will reiterate once more though,
What happened to me in May this year...
Has truly made me worried sick...
I'm terrified of a repeat, I think that's clear.
  
So then, what do I do...?
Tell me please, because you're the man,
And if anyone can sort me out...
You're the one that can!
  
I don't want to be at that risk again,
Because I nearly didn't make it through!
And the fear that instills in me...
Is making me tell you true...
  
...Tell you that I'm still afraid,
Of a repeat, cause I can't go through...
Another hard time like that,
It's something I really couldn't do!
  
It took me all the strength I had,
To hang on in there full of fright,
Cause all I wanted to do...
Was meet my God that night...
  
But I didn't as we know...
But this I tell you true...
If that ever happens again,
I definitely won't pull through!
  
An epilogue to you though,
Your poem is just great!!
Can I put it on me web site...?
To me, dedicated from my mate!
  
Of course your name will be there too!
 Like a star on a Christmas tree!
And while I have the chance (again)!
I'd like to say; 'Thanks,' from me!!!
  
What a great poem you sent me,
I really am impressed!
Cause after all, when said and done,
You're truly one of the best!

Catherine
