Samuel's WorldTourettes Poetry
Nanna's Poem
I'm just another Nana, a Senior Citizen
An O.A.P of 75 but Samuel helps keep me alive
He is a very loving child but often he's just cross and wild.
You never know what you might get
In life - for him it is Tourettes
A lot of folk don't understand
Just what this is, it does sound grand.
He tries to stop it with a curse
Preventing it just makes it worse
He sniffs and coughs then blinks his eyes
And jerks his body with painful cries
So when I see him act like this
I hug him tight, I wouldn't miss the chance to give him a kiss.
I talk to him and sing a tune
Just hoping it will finish soon
And when it does in a short while
I say something to make his smile
And when I leave and I’m at the front door
I think - well that's what Nana is for.

Thanks for your comments - yes I agree, although Sam has a lot of problems, deep down he does have a lot of positive skills, they just need to be found and br brought to the surface and then they can be developed!!
Good Luck in all that you do in life. xx
I have a poem on Youtube called Poetry of Tourettes. I think you would appreciate it.
