A Time For Me..........
 Well i have been given some news and i really must say.
That i need to be fair,In every way.
I have to admit that this wasn't a shock,
That my spine is disenigrating it's all tic toc.............

I love being mommy,and granny and such.
But how good will i be when it's a chair that i clutch?
To think of myself weak and withered, by bone disease.
Makes me drop my head,in concern as i fall to my knees.

All that keeps running through my mind is "worse"
As i say to myself i already thought it was severe.
I cant fathom it getting "worse" its so painful now.
I will pray for my Father to help me revere.

The Thing about me is i have always been tough,
Amazon was my nickname,physically i was strong.
The last five years have taught me to be humble.
Not quite the woman i was for so long...

I am determined to fight it every inch of the way.
Even though my bones and disks are degenerating.
I still have my mind and it is still, and wont stray.
It will help me be well, for on God i'm concentrating.

So evil can come at us, in different forms or fashions.
Stand firm with your God by your side..And your passion.
passion for life and the loved ones around you.
Or just sit back and let life run past you too.....

I choose to believe  that God will make it okay.
How else could i deal with this news?
God has always led me his way.
And i know he wants me in his pews.

So God bless and keep all those who are unsure.
When given such a terrible bit of news.
Please Know that God is the best cure.
He'll be happy to be your muse.
