We are Complete Opposites

We are complete opposites, except for Parkinson's disease
The good thing about it, is sharing our lives, you see
We are in this together, loneliness is hard for you and me

Many of us, used to multitask and do all kinds of things
As the years have past, it is difficult even to sing

We live in different areas, but we have this connection
We have Parkinson's and there is no worry for rejection
Because no one truly understands the what we feel
Our friends, and love ones try, but they never will.

We, you and I, are together in this fight to slow Parkinson's down
Doing all that we can, to help one another to continue to be around
We may have days that we need one another's shoulder to lean on
Together we will help each other by doing when called upon.

Yes, we can be complete opposites, but we draw strength from one another.
With this thing called Parkinson's disease, we are warriors for each other!

Together, we can make a difference

We all have a beautiful light within

We All Have a Beautiful Light Within

We just sometimes forget it is there

We work hard to bring it out, to be fair

It is difficult for most, just to fight this disease

Our love ones hurt too, so help them feel at ease.

Place your hand in theirs, would you please?

This special moment shows that you care

Remember it is hard for them to see you when you are in despair

Don't even think just do it, you'll be surprised to feel the connection

By doing so, other's can feel that you still have affection.

Some of us may have a mask face, and unable to smile

Don't be ashamed, a slight touch or hug shows your not hostile

Let others know, that this is what Parkinson's can do

You may or not have those tremors too.

Some of us, have a difficult time trying to walk

We may freeze, or shuffle our feet, while some people may gawk

Don't be angry, without knowledge of this disease, 

Some people may think your drunk,  so don't get upset please

Feel proud that you are a warrior fighting to win

God's gift is that beautiful light that you have within

So Much To Do, So Little desire To Do It

Have you ever had these days?
For most of us with Parkinson's, this is how we feel in every way.
But in order to feel better and have more energy
We have to make ourselves move, or we will feel miserably.

I start each morning feeling blessed that I am here another day
I always thank our Lord each morning and night this is just my way

I like to turn the computer on, and exercise to Tai Chi
It helps me with my balance and it is good for me.
I like to take a walk or ride my trike too.
Exercise helps me rid myself of those Parkinson's blues

After completing these things, my meditation begins
Relaxing my mind and body, seeing myself flying in the wind.
Soaring high up in the sky, with  my wings spread so wide
I float down from the clouds and open my eyes.
What a wonderful day, I'm so glad I'm alive.
