Epilepsy from birth was no injury I had it until I was fifteen I hid it from others for the fear of There laughter of me My father would hit me in the head To watch and see what I would do I couldn’t do this and I couldn’t do that But boy did I show them, I could do that I climbed real high and fell out of a tree But not once did epilepsy stop me I even went into the Army back in 68-69 I worked with high explosives If only they knew I could of blown up the whole crew Date: 12/28/2018 Sponsored by: Maureen McGreavy Name of Contest:Brainy Brevity

Nicely done, Bobby. Epilepsy is dangerous to have if it is severe enough as you know. Never know when it will occur and surprised to be let in the service with it. i have a grandson that has seizures and they didn't allow him to go into the service. It was hard when they found him one day past out outside from one. Nicely done, my friend! enjoyed reading. Good luck in the contest. Happy New Year .. Hugs Eve ~`*
