...................for those on the same road as me. This came to me this morning, when the local council grass-cutters arrived to cut the green in front of the house at silly o` clock, and sleep was impossible. It`s not exactly Poet Laureate stuff, but here goes :

Getting through is what we do
When things are very rough,
Even though we`d like to say
`RA, we`ve had enough!`


The stiffness, pain, they get us down
In many different ways,
But we do our best to live with this
Every single day.

When everything gets really bad
And we feel we cannot cope,
Our Forum friends they rally round
With their warm words of hope.

To all my cyber friends I say,
`God bless you one and all,
For being there with your support
Every time I call.`


Tezz x

    Thanks for that Tezz although I don't have RA I have other conditions that I live with chronic pain and stiffness, it put a smile on my face xx
    Smile a while and while you smile
    smile another smile and soon there
    will be miles and miles of smiles
    just because you smiled I wish your
    day is full of Smiles

    I hope the sentiments are applicable to any chronic illness. Glad you liked it.

    Fantastic - thanks for the smile. I needed that.

    (I hope they didn't leave too much grass on the pavements when they'd finished!).

    Thank you, Tezz. Maybe arthritis brings out our creative side. I'd like to think so.
