Penelope's Proud Poem

I'm writing this, my darling dear

To tell that you have conquered all your fears

You have braved the blood test well, my sweet

And I'm proud of you from my head to my feet


You've braved scary houses, you've braved mountains high

You've braved bombs falling from the sky

But when you braved your blood test, it made me so proud

It makes me want to sing out loud


I'd sing for a crowd who'd scream out loud

And say well done to me for being proud

Of such a brave girl with big heart like you

No one loves you more than I do


Sometimes I feel you might be in pain

But then you come out quite happy again

So from now on, darling, do me proud,

And speak of it to the world out loud.


Love, Penelope.

Happiness Is...

Happiness Is...

After The Blood Test

Into my arm the needle goes
And at once I didn't go 'EEE!" and "OH!"
The nurse gave me some special stickers
A cake and dinosaur while the candle flickers

Suky and I left for an ice cream
She had a Flake and I had chocolate, I seem
Chocolate ice cream is my favourite treat
With lots of sausage rolls to eat

I was worried about a second try
But back home to my town we'd fly
I told Mum all about my day
And she said we'd forget about it, hooray!

So now I have time to relax
And forget all my worries for now
As for Mylo, my dog,
He'd rather snack on dog chow!

NOTE: This poem goes to show that a blood test is not a negative experience. It's something that everyone can test their bravery with, no matter what, any time, anywhere. And your reward? A nice, relaxing many days, or a sticker, or some chocolate. Because nothing's better than a numb arm which doesn't hurt.
