Skin Cancer From Too Much Sun
Protect your self please
Too Much Sun
The sun feels warm,
it shines so bright,
makes the day
glow full of light.
But every time
you skip the shade,
your skin remembers
what you gave.
It burns, it peels,
it turns deep red,
even hurts
to lie in bed.
Too much sun
can leave a mark.
It doesn’t only
bring a spark.
Wear your hat,
use sunscreen too,
protect the skin
that carries you.
Enjoy the light,
but don’t forget:
healthy skin
is your best bet.
You think it’s gold,
but it’s not kind.
It leaves its scars,
it steals your shine.
Skin cancer grows
in too much light.
So cover up.
Stay out of sight

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.

All good tips for all skin types. Good job on a PSA.
Very well written, congrats 👏
I will suggest avoidance of direct middday sun, using umbrella, hats etc. Suspicious about chemicals even if it's sunscreen. I had a big allergy once.
