Spring Update

Hello All..
 
I know that my blog following is very low, but as I've not updated in a while, I thought I would share with you lovely people what's been going on.
Its been over three years now since I wrote my poem 'The Care Worker' and just over one year since I wrote my first blog telling you all the story behind the poem.
 
 
Every month I check instagram to see if it is still being shared, and to my amazement it is! I've got no idea how many times or where in the world its been shared but I am just so overwhelmed that my poem reached out to so many people! Please..KEEP SHARING!

Incredible!!!
 
So, as some of you may know, I've spent the last six months attending college, studying Access to HE and I am currently holding a conditional offer for the Integrated Masters in Adult Nursing..which I am SUPER proud of! Only two months left at college and all being well, I'll have a nice relaxing summer (wishful thinking with a 2 year old cling-on) before starting University in September. I am so excited, nervous, terrified (and possibly every other emotion that exists) to begin my journey as a student nurse.
 
I'm keeping this one short and sweet, but thought I'd share with you all a poem that I had published a good few years ago now.
 
Unbroken Silence

Gracefully she watches
How the stars may prance,

But for me its a reminder
Of when we used to dance.
It seems now all she does
Is occupy the space,
Upon the window ledge
With the glass pressed to her face.
And as I sit and watch her,
It makes my mind go wild;
Is this how it should be
Between a mother and a child?
