Two Years Since Stem Cell Transplant.

Rose -Love Knot  September 2009

On the 8th of October it will be two years since Hamada’s Stem Cell Transplant and we once again thank Prof. N. Russell and his wonderful team at Nottingham’s "Centre of Clinical Haematology" for their expertise and for securing these past two years for Hamada. We continue with joy at each given day and try to make everyday as special as we possibly can.

In celebration I post here Hamada’s favourite Poem, apart from mine! ( I’m jesting of course)

From the Springtime of Love by Khalil Gibran.

 

Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving:
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

 

Khalil Gibran 1883 – 1931

A Pearl Anniversary Poem for Jen and Ian

A Pearl Of An Affair – by Susie Hemingway.

In reality a love affair

this finest one I’ll say it here

for as deep as in the Ocean find

this pearl of  love, the rarest kind.

A strong consistent bonded jewel

a respected and enduring love,

and in standing close we honour them,

their kindness and their joy of life.

It really is a love affair

that’s lasted long all thirty years.

A  recipe for all to see, this  magic

is of Jen and Ee.

A classic timeless romance is here, from

clear blue eyes and gentle brown,

from hearts and friends who stood that day

on sunny steps in Acton town…

For we can see it clearly now

this magic of their precious vows.

this strength, this love, entwines their hearts

embracing  all – to never part.

We  love them so, for without them both

life would be, half the fun, we all agree,

so lets thank the fates that deemed this day

that brought this love, this oysters prized and

special gift, this endless love and gentle bliss.

So raise your glasses one and all!

For this  is love a precious pearl…
