If Only I Could Sleep At Night
If only I could sleep at night
Instead awake I lay
Waking every hour or so
Will sleep all day
instead I know
Parkinson’s
I hate you so
Another symptom
don’t you know
It slowly takes
complete control
My life
my mind
my body
So much now
I cannot do
Parkinson’s
I do hate you…
But I would not have met
My lovely friends
My Parkinson’s choir
We sing at concerts
We sing at care homes
The joy it doth give us
P can’t take away
Must look for the positives
As I go through each day
For P is not me
Smile sweetly and pray
That today be a good one
With blue sky and sun
I will walk by the sea
with Parkinson’s and me…
