Charles Pannett ward, I thank you all
for taking care of me.
I didnot expect to stay so long
but some things are meant to be.
I had a few problems along the way,
I think it must be said.
From every angle I saw the ward
travelling from bed to bed!
But now I am on my way home
My illness days are passed.
St Mary's can now celebrate
You've got rid of me at last.

Written July 2003 to thank St Mary's for looking after her.
