Tiny Tim

Open the box to see what’s in
I think you’ll find it’s Tiny Tim.
“God bless us,
One and all”
A lovely thought, from one so small.

Out of sight
And out of mind
Why should we have to be so kind?

To feel compassion and empathy
Is not for Pixie and his tree!
It’s meant for Tim, and Tim alone
So watch the Lark, sat on his throne.

A spiteful lunge he will make

And the crutch it will break.

I am living with Stage 4 lung cancer that has spread to my brain. These are my thoughts. It is a combination of serious articles and more light hearted stuff (like my ridiculous poems). Early articles are a bit heavy, but hopefully it becomes a little more light hearted! This is not a self help site there will be no advice on cancer related matters just my thoughts. Just for the record my name is Iain Trent, I am using the Blog name of John Frank because they are the names of my Grandads. I did not want this blog to jump up to anyone who searched for me so it is a way of providing some limited anonymity hopefully without being a catfish.
