Guest guest Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 Tess Your poem touched my heart and made me cry. So many times I order what is my purpose any longer for being on this earth. Theses diseases take away so much of our life and in our prime many times. It is hard to look at what we do have but there is a reason for this Tess, I sincerely believe that our suffering is done on earth.....for a better place..A doctor once said that RA only happens to nice people..... I will chose to take that a good way. Thank you for the wonderful poem...that is a keeper love Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
