So @PoetryDayUK enjoy!

Oh my daughter I love you so
I wish the anxiety would just go,
When it blows
Your bright spark goes,
If only we could keep it low
It is amazing to see you grow,
You and Sparrow keep us strong
Hopefully we will all live healthy and long,
I love you

My amazing wife
I'm sorry for this strife,
After illness you lost your dad
Then some illness your mum had,
After time she passed too
Then it was on to you,
The cancer came
But you were not tame,
Now it's gone
But for how long,
Our two kids thrive
Because you are alive.
I love you

I once wrote a ditty
About a lady called Priti
An island called Ascension
Caught her attention
A home she said
For those with no bed
A prison I fear
For those we will not hear!

There was a story about Brexit
With a family looking for an exit
Told by a dual national
The family seemed irrational
The morale of the story seems
Be sure to fully understand your dreams!

My darling daughter
What do you become
Who is this monster
That resides in my little one
Just never forget
To be absolutely clear
I've not let you down yet
And I'll be waiting right here
I love you!

At Michael Rosen
You were chosen
COVID found you
No question that is true
Thankfully you did survive
And personally I am grateful you are alive!

How naive I feel
As I didn't ask for this deal,
My daughter is five
But she is so alive,
Her anxiety is high
Always ready to fly,
I just wish I could help
But it ends with my yelp,
One day without being bit
Would be such a hit,
It hurts to say
You may kill me one day,
I love you

Don't worry my son
When that itch does come
I'll be right here
Without any fear
My dear little chap
I'm sorry I snap
It drives me to despair
To see your eczema flare
I love you

Oh my daughter dear
I'm so happy to cheer
Today we both really tried
And you haven't told me you'd wished I'd died
You are amazingly smart
And it breaks my heart
When the anxiety comes
We both end up in the doldrums
I love you

My dear lovely son
I fear the ASD has come
The traits have been there
But you were blissfully unaware
Your mother and I
Have tried to deny
What was in plain view
We really always knew
As with your sister too
Fear not as we'll be there for you
