Thank you to client Jean Milne for sharing her CLAN poem
According to the telly this is poetry day
Well if that is the case there is something I must say
And that is to say CLAN, it’s a huge thank you to you
Minute by minute, day by day, its thanks for all you do
In Aberdeen you support so many with your care
For successful outcomes you sure take your share
A welcome, a smile, a homely feel is the stories they tell
A blanket of comfort envelope them when unwell
Of course so much more you do seen and unseen
And coming into our communities you are so keen
Here in Turriff, week by week your support is good
So it’s a wee poem of thanks from me as I should
When I arrived that first time, I said I’m not needy
But now for company and therapies I am quite greedy
Angie and all her angels make us welcome each time
And for everyone, carers and users to you all my wee rhyme
The monthly coffee mornings, all enjoy
Especially if there’s a scone or 2 for Hugh to enjoy
The support from the community is quite simply great
And for the next coffee morning, well they take note of the date
Your therapist Deborah has a talent so rare
After my treatment the improvement is beyond compare
The team is wonderful, the cakes by the way amazing
And to think Lorraine’s talent includes all that sharing
So on this poetry day I just want to say thank you
Really, really appreciate all that you do
Thursdays now have CLAN pencilled in
And my Friday visit to Crimond…well where do I begin
It proves the worth of CLAN going on
In Crimond the CLAN care to all can belong
Cancer is not great, in fact it can be hell
But CLAN is there for support we can tell
What an inspiration, and what a success
CLAN started small but now is a charity to impress
Upon each client, resident or out and about
Thank you, thank you CLAN is what we all shout.
