The Art of Arthritis

My will
    stronger 
    than my body

I am
    stubborn
    to the bone

Now ain't this the pen felt truth, MM. So deliciously sweet is your wit. I sing the arthritis blues mostly all year round, so I feel you on this cool poem. Great work sent to us in a spiritual brief! Love and joy always.
