Poems, Parkinson's, the Police and Me

Serving Policeman Hywel Griffiths, who suffers from Parkinson's Disease, started to write poems in response to people coming into the office everyday complaining about trivialities. Rather than shouting "Get a Life" - Hywel thought that poetry might encourage them to see life from a different perspective. These poems illustrate what can be achieved simply through a positive outlook and they convey a zest and love for life even when suffering from a debilitating illness such as Parkinson's.
