Its All About Me

I want to say sorry For being remiss I tend to worry As I look at the list Of the appointments I Have to Keep, every week. I get such care for the Cures that I seek. Everything is fading And it seems far away. I have glaucoma Diabetes as well, Three types of Arthritis That hurts like hell. I see a heart specialist, And lung specialists, too and Peripheral Neuropathists to name Just a few, IBS that messes with my tum I no longer have control Of my bum. I go to physio classes, Twice a week. I have a hoarse voice, I cough and wheeze when I speak. I am not writing this for sympathy Life has been very good to me I don't know how to explain In any other way What I started to say I have had so much encouragement from PS It has caused much happiness I have become very slow And have lost my get-up and go So without further ado I want to apologise to all of you Who have kindly taken the time To comment on my simple rhyme And I have yet to answer you.

All I can say is, hang in there... and you certainly need not apologize to me. Your responses to me are in near-virtual time! The body may be weak, but your spirit is willing, Shirley! Keep writing! Thanks and hugs, Gershon

So many illnesses and issues. I have my share, not as much as yours but my heart condition could be the death of me. If I'm to die, let it come quickly. Your poem is stunning. Despite its sadness, I loved it.
