Dedication to Harris HospisCare

When your life gets turned upside down
Your future hopes get blown away
Your life in the balance
You slowly start to fall apart
How can I deal with this, where do I start?

The top surgeons said they would operate
Your cancer is growing at a hell of a rate
My mind in an awful state
My chances aren’t that great
We must operate now we just can’t wait

When Guys had finished sorting my out
What the hell have you done to me?
Who is responsible, who can I blame
I look bloody awful
Someone please explain?

I came out of hospital my fight had just begun
Feeling sorry for myself, I can’t be the only one
I felt suicidal, sleeping round the clock
Too many drugs I must try to stop!
Is this the end of the road for me
I need to change everything can’t you see?

Sitting at home feeling sorry for myself
Worried sick about my health
Jenny Wright came round to visit me
She mentioned Harris HospisCare come and see!

When I entered the room, the smiling faces all around
Happy smiling faces, that know no bounds
The kindness of all the staff
I’m happy here I’ve broken new ground
At Harris HospisCare new hobbies and friends I’ve found

 

Samson the cat

My name is Samson
Life really is so good
I sit here waiting patiently
All day long for food
Two good meals a day I get
I’d really like some more
My master’s put me on a diet
When people come up to me
I close my eyes and purr
Then they give me titbits
When my master can’t see
Then I have a little kip
Then I wake quietly and slip out into the night
