"introduce Me"

Hi my name is Teresa my friends call me big T.
I'm crippled with Muscular dystrophy.
I'm unable to walk or write my name.
Life is hard but there's no one to blame.
I thank God for my poetry that I write.
Also for my friends on those poetry sites.
Some days I'm sad and I need to cry.
Some days I'm happy and don't know why.
My husband and family dry my tears.
They're the reason I have no fears.
My love for them is why I hold on.
Hope I'm their treasure when I'm gone.
         Teresa Skyles  13-May-10

Teresa, I keep forgetting you are the one with that terrible disease. This is lovely, your sweet introduction here. May you have many more friends in your life. How long have you had Muscular distrophy? Does hubbie post your poems for you, hon? Luv, Andrea
