Parkinson's Disease

Progressive disease of nervous system, tremors, muscular rigidity, body closing down with brain remaining bright and clear. Hands shaking with uncontrollably movement Body surrendering, crumpling Mind captive, alert, bright, unable to communicate. Muscles failing, arms and legs no longer obeying Walking slow, shuffling hesitating painful steps Body beyond mind's control, disease ruthless Future bleak without mercy, way ahead, grim and dark. With each new day struggling to move and be active Hoping science will find miracle cure ending the agony. Daily medication slowing decline and trembling of hands Parkinson a crucifixion, suffered over many years Until only mind is active, and cannot communicate. Frightening road ahead needing courage to follow Resolved with support to endure each dawn's grimmer.
