"a Big Wish"

I made a wish that Muscular Dystrophy would've passed me by.
Then my life would have been different and I wouldn't have to cry.

I could walk I could run and play with all my grandbabies.
Do my own cooking,wash my own hair and no more mabee's.

Sometimes I would wonder why life has been so hard.
Without FA there would be no more pain and no more scars.

Sometimes I wonder without the disease would my life be the same.
I know one thing I'd have nothing or no one to blame.

I am sorry if you have this debilitating disease. I know it must be limiting. Thank goodness you have your writing ability. Yes it was sad when my daddy lost his prized chain but neither he nor Mom were material people and as long as he had his health and his family he was happy. I had a wonderful dad and I love to write about him. Love, Joyce
