I love being in pain

It's so much fun

For a crippling disease

It sure keeps you on the run!

I love having to live

On medication for pain

And pred for swelling

Has brought me nothing but gain!

The drs are so nice

You'd swear they know the key

To making us all better

Not just replacing a knee!

But for now, I sit and wait

As the pain increases, but not the meds

And crawling out of bed each day

Doesn't bring anything but dread

I look forward to the day

When people know I am really sick

And try to really help me

And not expect me to heal quick

So this is my song of daily release

As I sit in my recliner

Just covered in fleece

To have just a week

Of feeling like I once had

And thinking that life

Really isn't so bad

Where angels of mercy

Arrive every day

To wash me and dress me

The old fashioned way

And friends care enough

To stop by to say hey

And this body stops fighting me

Each step of the way

So when I get to heaven

At the pearly gates I receive

A whole new body

Without any disease

And we can all be together

Where we can dance and sing

And rise each morning

without the pain this RA brings! Love, Shel
