    About this ebook

    Rhymes for the Times

    The more things change
    The more they stay the same
    This is about what things are
    Not what things are not

    Its about whom Ive loved; still love
    Not those who have loved me not
    Its about remembering
    Not that which is forgotten

    Its either I love or I love not
    What I love and hold
    Not what I have forgot
    Or that which is cold and dark

    Its about those who stay
    Not for those who run
    For persons born, yet unseen
    And those who dare follow their dreams

    Followers of the course of winners
    Beware of the pretenders
    Enjoy the rainbow whether young or old
    Never chase the pot of gold

      Dear Daddy

      May 20, 2019

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      I DON’T think I’d describe myself as a perfectionist. Yes, I do push hard to get things right and I expect the same from others, but I don’t spiral if things happen to be different from what the textbook says. As I’ve grown older I’ve realised there’
