Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The sun, it is shining, the sky, it is blue, I should be happy, I know

Spring, it is coming, the weather is warm, plants are beginning to grow

I used to love Springtime, would smile in the sun as I drove along in my car

Now I am not such an optimist, though I know many people who are

I try to think of happier times, when I had full use of my limbs

I could run along a sandy beach, jump in the water and swim

These days I am wheelchair bound with limited dexterity and strength

What I wouldn't give to walk once again or to swim one or two lengths

However, I'll have to bite the bullet, accept the bitter blow of fate

Try to make my mark on society, for other MND people's sake

If you like what you read on this page or see me on U Tube reciting

Please donate to the MNDA on 'Just Giving' for a cure, I'm inviting

You to give to a worthy cause, to find an end to this cruel disease 

One which affects lives, destructively, bringing, once, 'normal' people to their knees
