The Time is Near

It is the third month

The days are creeping up

Closer the calendar moves

I remember like it was yesterday

Your smile, your tears, your silence.

Brother dear, I know you left me a penny

I found it on the floor

You probably see that I am wearing your IU jacket too

It is one way I can feel close to you.

I miss you baby brother

There will never be another

With big blue eyes

The color of skies

A grin so wide

No where to hide

I saw the questions you had

When you felt so bad

I couldn’t keep it away

MSA took you that day

March 24, 2014

It was a disease so mean

No matter what I try

I still cry

I miss you brother

There will be no other.

In memory of a warrior of Multiple System Atrophy

With God; All Things Are Possible

Who said people can’t get it on?
I told Parkinson’s to leave me alone
So I could put my new place in place
God shoved it aside, til all the boxes were gone.

All things are possible with God; you know
I may not rid my body of Parkinson’s
But he did make it possible for me,
And let me run with this show.

My legs are still freezing in place
And I have spoken to God about this
I hoped it was temporary
But I will accept this with grace.

I am stating all of this because it is true
Diseases can catch us, even hold us,
And bring down our hope
But with God’s help; he’ll carry us through.
