Yearn With No Regrets

I often yearn for just one day that I will dance and sing and play But now this dreaded Parkinson's has taken that away Dance like no one is watching is what I yearn to do But my dancing legs no longer can Foxtrot Tango Or even Can Can At times my legs can barely walk they shuffle all around my home Somehow feeling so much worse when one lives all alone Singing is much harder as my voice begins to fade But even though it may well go I won't give in I love to sing Such joy my Parkinson’s choir doth bring So I will sing though even when no one can hear me sing a thing And lastly how I yearn to play Like when I was a child I'd skip and hop and run and jump I was a child just running wild I yearn with no regrets For my life has been a good one So in my head despite the P I dance and sing and play each day Praying a cure is not too far away...
