My feelings about my lot and the support you give

[Guest guest]

Folks,

I like to write poetry and I have penned the following

to help me deal with how I am feeling.

Like a silent thief in the night,

He arrived unannounced,

While I wasn’t looking,

He suddenly pounced.

Bit by bit,

He slowly steals my quality of life away,

One less thing I can do,

Have to take it day by day.

Why not me, I tell myself,

Better than someone I love,

Making fine friends I would never have known,

Maybe it’s a blessing from above.

Telling me to slow myself down,

Get back in touch with my spiritual side,

Live more in the moment,

Learn to take things in my stride.

I’ve still got two arms and legs,

My mind and my will,

I choose how I deal with this,

I’m in control still.

Maybe it will beat me,

But I won’t go without a fight,

There’s simply too much to live for,

I’m not ready to turn out the light.

I gain a lot of strength,

From the guts and resolve of you friends,

Even when one of us goes,

The fight never ends.

Regards Sowter
