Here is something that just came to me a while ago, I hope you like it.

The Disease

So how do I make
my peace with this?
This invader
This thief
This jailor.
This stranger in
my body.
There should be a dance for this.
A song
A story
Some marking of the change.
Not this slow invasion into
every part of me.
Each day I number casualities.
Some battles lost, some battles won.
Some remain the same.
As the man I was
And that man that I am,
Change places.

BEING SICK OF PARKINSONS

I got the disease when I was young

And I can't even express it in my tounge

But I have to live and a new life begun

Everyday is a struggle that I have to won.

Parkinsons did not hampers my dreams

Until now I'm standing and still working

To support my kids for their future

And make our life secure.

Possitive attitude is all I have

And this give me courage to survive

To handle all the difficulties in life

You must be brave and open-minded.

LUNARDANCE

I was just diagnosed with Parkinsons, and I am really depressed.

I read your poem, and I printed a copy

 I am a new member . I thought you might find my poem interesting. I may post another one about Parkinson's but it is a llittle negative .

I hope I am writing on the right space. I am learning about this.

LIFE IS GOOD!!??

“LIFE IS GOOD” on my shirt it is said,
And I keep repeating it in my head.
But there are times I do not agree
Because life’s not always filled with glee.

Why do I think in these negative ways?
Because life has thrown me a curve, let’s say.
This giant curve begins with a capital P.
Parkinson’s has made my life a mystery.

As I look at the gleaming sky and birds,
My love of life is too strong for words
But the dreaded future is haunting me.
Will there be happiness or misery?

“Live in the present”, I hear every day
But it’s hard to constantly live that way.
There are fears and trials I cannot deny,
Fear that I will not succeed when I try.

I look at the words on my shirt and ponder
Is life really good or should I wonder
Life can be good if I stop and enjoy
The beauty and love no one can destroy.
