I Appreciate You
Your friendship means the world to me
We talk, we laugh, we cry, we hug,
And I’m grateful for your love,
You listen when I need an ear,
You comfort when I’m in pain,
You remind me when I doubt myself,
And you correct me when I’m wrong.
**
I love to hear your voice,
As you tell me your news,
I love the sound of your laughter,
And appreciate your point of view.
**
Your words of wisdom help me when I’m in need,
Your acceptance is precious to my heart,
You refrain from judgement even when I’m at my worst,
And love me for who I am.
**
Your understanding is my rock,
You honour me with your time,
You hold my hand in times of comfort,
Soothe my tears in times of pain,
And your hugs are like coming home.
**
Without your friendship I would be lost,
Darkness would quickly descend,
There’d be a hole in my heart,
That could never be filled my friend.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.
