As Summer fades and the air is filled with signs of Autumn.
As the leaves start their change in colour and their sprinkling fall;
the rhythm and flow of life continues its clever path.
This in-between state that suspends betwixt the seasons is all my heart desires.
To call on the Gods to allow a stay with compassion,
cleverly keeping this season of harvest and life.
Protect and preserve these mere moments of joy and utter no anguished change for me,
as grateful diamonds of joy, spill from my heart.
Take these vibrant days of colour with their smiles intact, allow for NO fear,
for you have always been my brave one but you are more so now.
Do not snap and break this plan I ask,
keeping this Autumn complete and in my whispered prayers.

What a lovely poem. I hope that the Revlimid is helping and that Hamada is feeling a little stronger. My lovely man is also doing well on this drug and has been for eighteen months now. I pray that we are all given hope and strength to support these brave and wonderful men.
Thank you for your comment Maureen, so nice to hear from you again. Yes there is some good news on the Revlimid front and this week we learnt that the PP/Mspike has fallen by 5 so we are delighted. A little update on http://www.susiehemingway.blogspot.com
Continued very best wishes for your husband and for you also.
