If you could spend one day in my shoes You would see that life with Parkinsonâs offers no clues How every effort is a tremendous chore From dressing each day to merely walking across the floor
One moment I feel good and move with a breeze Then suddenly my body shakes and I start to âfreezeâ The shaking and strange movements arenât just an act It is part of my life now, a documented fact
I didnât ask for this disease and often question God âWhy was I chosen for this? Why do I feel so odd?â âWhy do people talk about me or be so quick to judge?â I need their encouragement ~ when I struggle to give me a nudge
My spirit is strengthened by the motto âto find a cureâ Iâll wait with hope, prayerful thatâs for sure For a television report or a newspaper article of interest Of a new medicine or procedure to make life the easiest
As my family and friends share their love and concern The doctors ease my pain by teaching me ways to learn To handle the frustrations that I face every hour of every day To help me endure the stumbling blocks I face along the way
Sometimes I need reminding that faith has it [...] continue the story

I’m no longer allowed those precious moments Of awakening to each new day And for that splinter of time Greeting the morning “Parkinson’s free” Before my body alerts my brain And the daily battle starts again That little window Of hope and sanity now inaccessible to me Once again testing my faith and strength For now leaving me in the lurch And searching for another Fragile branch On the “tree of life” To cling onto.
