MS ... more not less!



Two letters
MS
no, not fetters
and definitely not less

Well maybe less taken for granted
with each day an unknown
so what if  I stand a bit slanted
I am not alone

I have a husband
who I will not let down
together we stand
on MS ground

The trouble with some
who look at me and see
a so-called "normal" person
so, why is she wobblee?

The strain of pretending
everything is okay
to act as "healthy" as I'm looking
can blacken a day

I get angry with myself
you're too preoccupied with these letters
rise above your health
learn from those who are your betters

Betters because they are amazing
in their MS grace
living, loving, laughing
without losing face

So it happened to you
what makes you so special
there are thousands who too
are a living witness to tell

Of the ups and downs
the days unknown
the stiffness which hounds
sometimes to the bone

Yet, I tell myself each day
I do have more, not less
no matter what the insurance companies say
the end of life is not MS!
