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… YIUR CHOICE 2023 Sponsor Brian Strand

I'm so sorry you suffer from this awful disease. My wife has been battling fibromyalgia for over 25 years

Dear Tom thank you and I am so sorry to hear that your dear wife has been suffering for so long. I have had P for 10 years but it is now moving on and really causing problems with my everyday living, as unfortunately it is degenerative so will get worse... but I must try to stay positive and poetry really does help... Thank you dear Tom, with kindest thoughts Ann xx
