Sometimes.............

Sometimes I wonder

How life will play out

Will I ease into darkness

Or go out with a shout.

Will I mourn past loses

Or celebrate past gains

Will I be a better person

Or remain the same old same.

I hope I can remember

How fun life was before

From climbing up a mountain

To running on the shore.

I used to dance till dawn

And work from nine to five

I was full of fun and energy

And happy to be alive.

The years have not been kind

They’ve piled on much, it seems

To swallow up my hopes

And trample down my dreams.

But as I sit and ponder

All the years that have gone by

I can only smile with joy

They were fun, I can’t deny.

This monster they call MS

Has slowed me down with pain

It has scrambled up my brains

And I’m usually walking with a cane.

The things I used to do with ease

Come at a cost so dear

Even though I try to ignore it

It makes itself so clear.

But though I moan and grumble

I am not at all “why me?”

No matter where I seem to go

There are always worse I see.

So thank You God for everything

The sun, the earth, the rain

The blessing You have given all

Even through the hurt and pain.

We are blessed beyond comprehension

Just look around and see

I bet you’ll feel like I do and say

There is No One blessed more than me!! ;)
