Gone . . .

Sometimes you like me, sometimes you don’t,

You think I’ll abandon you but I promise I wont.

My heart breaks whenever you cry, 

Especially when we have to say goodbye. 

I think about you all the time,

Even whilst  writing this little rhyme. 

I promised to take care of you as best as I can,

But that was until you ran.

I cannot help you whilst you are gone,

I can only hope you wont be long.

Please come back and let me help you feel better,

And with any luck you will have a chance to read this letter.

(The above poem was written by myself and I do not wish for any one else to use it without my permission)

—————–

Today I had a lovely day at work. At the end of my shift one of my dear patients absconded.
Knowing her past and possibilities for the futures it makes me just want to break down in tears.

Tonight I will not be crying, I will be praying for the safe return of this extremely vulnerable girl.

Take care dear patient and god bless.

6am How I Love Thee!!

Morning, morning everyone! I would say rise and shine but I am guessing if you are reading this you need not rise but could possibly want to shine. This morning I am surprisingly perky after finishing my first night shift out of three. The one thing I wanted to share was my 6am observation. Now this may not be something you want to read about but I figured some of the time it is just nice to sit back and observe your surroundings. So at 6am I took my cup of steaming hot caffeine downstairs to the back of the hospital and watched the world go by for approximately 15 minutes. During such time I noticed three different sets of people. So the 6amer’s were as follows:

HAPPY TIRED DRUNK YET WIDE AWAKE

This group of two men and a woman were skipping (literally!) merrily down the road and shouting at the top of their voices for everyone to listen – WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING DO YOU NOT THINK SO?! Now as I was on the other side of the road far away from their direct line of fire I found this absolutely hilarious as you could see that they were clearly heavily intoxicated from their night of debauchery prior to this mornings athletics trials through Gower Street. There was however a lady that looked like she wanted to be swallowed by a black hole whilst they followed her to the underground station asking incessantly ‘DO YOU NOT THINK IT IS A BEAUTIFUL MORNING?!’ Poor lady – right?!

THE WANDERERS

Various waifs and strafes who just happen to be out roaming the streets and this time of the morning. They seem to walk with no purpose however look constantly bemused by their erratic surroundings. As I rarely walk like I am in a hurry I could easily be mistaken for one of these – but I was on the other side of the fence watching the passers-by.

WORKER BEES

These specific individuals are walking with something that can be easily mistaken as a spring in their step but to the ones that know they are running late. A stack of papers crammed untidily under ones arm, a coffee cup in the other hand and a mobile phone either held by their teeth or trying to pry it out of their pocket with their paper stacked arm. A couple of pieces of paper escape and their world collapses in front of them. The ultra organised with their roll case bags and paper neatly tucked under their arm with a steaming cup of coffee in their hand, bespectacled, gloves, hats and scarfs at the ready to brave the elements. These organised mortals are the elite of the morning group and the ones we look at in disbelief (How do they do it?!).

Welcome to my morning view – sorry it’s slightly late!
