I'm an artist who fights on the side of LIFE! I'm 66, have ALS, and fight to overcome my limitations with the support of a loving husband, a warm and wonderful family, awesome friends, faith and always, humor. Just because I had to put my cape and tights in storage doesn't mean I can't fly!

Before the onset of ALS I kayaked rivers and the ocean, hiked the Green mts. of VT and was moderately successful as an artist. I can no longer use the pastels, colored pencils and papers I so loved and now paint with the help of my computer to express the musings of my mind. Every day is a fight to hold my disease in check, but each day is also a gift. I fight my battle with the help of my wonderful family and friends, and my husband who sticks by me with love, help with the things I can't do on my own, and humor.

WOW! Loved this poem and I am truly impressed!
Pam - I was perusing your posts and found this poem. I've read a great deal of poetry - even placed 3rd in the Frost 2006.
This poem is exquisite. You need to post it again so that others may enjoy it.
