A Moment In Life

There was a moment when my future was set No crystal ball, I was no pshysic, and yet… At twenty-one diagnosed with PKD** Instinctively knew what my future would be. Knew my kidneys would fail around forty-eight Until then I’d grab life, for fun could not wait There’d be no children, I would not pass it on I’d clear every hurdle until all hope was gone. I was not afraid of what might be in store A life filled with sorrow? No, love and much more A career filled with friends, accomplishments too At that moment in time, somehow, I just knew. A moment in life can give one clarity Mine opened my eyes to what I was to be! ** PKD = Polycystic Kidney Disease. An inherited dominant gene sometimes passed from parent to child. Mine came from my father.
