My Life Changes
As you can see from these few poems I have a strong social conscience. I tend to be inspired and write almost daily.My poetry have evolved over the last twenty or so years,as my life changed so did my priorities. My children and family have always come first then I started working full time as a midwife after the birth of my youngest son. Without the help of my mother this would not have been possible, she was so supportive,as was my husband. They both recognised that I needed to continue my chosen career,and also the money was useful.I qualified as a State Registered Nurse Bolton District General Hospital in the June and married in the September and for the next 12years concentrated on my growing family, working a few hours a week to keep my competences up to date. When my youngest son was near 3years old I had the opportunity to train as a Midwife and over the next twelve months I enjoyed learning about midwifery, a compelling and intense period of study. I succeeded with the help of a live-in help and my mother`s support. I look back on my years as a midwife, both working in hospital and on the community, with great satisfaction. I can`t say I miss it,though I probably would admit to missing the mothers and their babies. The midwifery services has changed so much, it destresses me to read about its decline.Now I keep myself very busy. I divorced in 2000 and have since become quite independant and liberated. After 40 years of married life I began to feel surplus to needs. Fortunately no one was hurt as the children had lives and families of their own. My poems during this stage of my life reflect this period.
