I sit here everyday,
Hoping a cure is on the way.
As others walk steadily by,
Sometimes I just want to cry.

I use to be able to walk with ease,
Sometimes I look to God and ask why me.
Bad days still get me down,
As I ride my scooter throughout town.

I'll come to accept my wheelchair in time,
Because without it I would be in a bind.
It helps me out in special ways,
I use it most everyday.

I long for a day , I can run and jump,
A cure would be such a triumph.
Swimmimg and skating would be fun too,
Many others feel the way I do.

People can help fight M.S.,
And they will surely be blessed.
So when asked to help find a cure,
Why not say "WHY SURE".

Honey, I hope for you and all the others
that there will be a cure too.

Let your strength be a beacon to send the light to many.
*Hugs* sent your way, my friend.
