I am Maggie Watson.
I was born in Cape Town, South Africa.
My father was Scottish, a merchant seaman, and he fell in love with my mother while visiting South Africa.
We left when I was 5, and sadly I have no recollection of my birth country.
I now live in a quiet seaside town outside of Edinburgh.
I work voluntarily for Barnardo’s ( a children’s based charity ).
I am lucky enough to live near the sea, and enjoy walks ( Scottish weather permitting, lol ).
I love to travel.
I also enjoy reading ( when I am not writing)
I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (commonly known as CFS or M.E).
I was diagnosed 13 years ago,after losing my mother who I had cared for for 7 years.
It is a very debilitating/unpredictable illness which doctors are unable to treat😪, nor do they know the cause of it!
Fatigue is more than tired, and Chronic Fatigue is more than just fatigue🙄.
Please bear with me while viewing this blog🙏 as I am a newbie to this 🙄.
I hope you enjoy my posts and perhaps find some words that resonate.
Feedback and comments are welcome👍

BE KIND
If you have nothing good to say then say nothing at all😊
Some of the poems in this collection are quite raw, but I make no apologies for that.
I don’t believe in dressing my words up in a fancy bow.
This collection was written as part of my healing journey.
I included some prose in this collection because some stories take longer to tell.
I hope you enjoy this new collection of my work.
I know there are many of you that have had then too.
Take what you need from these poems, and know that there is, always hope!
I was also grieving at this time.
It is very much an eclectic mix of words covering many subjects.
I hope at least one resonates.
