Sometimes I need to sit
For its just too painful to walk
Sometimes my fingers swell
And I have no breath to talk

Sometimes I get so tired
Just going thru out my day
Sometimes what I feel on the inside
Is not what you see I'm afraid

Sometimes one day runs right into the next
Yet no two are exactly the same
Sometimes I need your love & support
And not to be told that all I do is complain

Sometimes I drop things that I try to pick up
And I can fall down from just standing still
Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees
But thank God for the gift of a strong will

I try to stay focused on the things I can do
Not on the ones that have slipped away
But these losses are real & need to be grieved
Then I can move on in a more positive way

So don't expect me to overextend myself
For it will be you who is disappointed not me
Be it braces,wheelchair, scooter or cane
I'll accept life's challenges as possibilities
