Lou Gehrig's ease

We've heard of ALS as "Lou Gehrig's disease" Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis a cause to pray on our knees But Lou Gehrig felt he was "the luckiest man on earth"* the Yankees, and his wife the main reasons for mirth Thankful for his life though with illness cut short** at ease in his disease what an awfully good sport (* regarding his farewell speech at Yankee stadium ** like in the Principle and Foundation of St. Ignatius of Loyola!) :)
