By the Stroke of My Hand
Poems by a Stroke Survivor and Natural Wordsmith

Within these pages of this little book you find a small collection of Thomas favorite poems. Thomas had a stroke in 0202 resulting in numbness down the whole of the left side of his body and often falls as not able feel the ground beneath his feet. He is still not fully steady on his feet but still ventures out into the community. Thomas’s secret to staying hopeful is to never give in when your chips are down! After the stroke he became more interested in painting pictures of his local area, bringing his poetry alive. Thomas’s poetry takes the reader on a journey where there is only fun, laughter and reflective moments of stillness and pause sprinkled with a little star dust. Pure magic!
