Hope

I have faith that tomorrow they will find a cure

   for all those with joints~pain and stiff.

  And have confidence that all of us who dream, plan and wish

only hold in our hearts an optimism and a courage that is pure.

The likelihood that many of us could end up as cripples

   is a possibility that is high.

   Chances are that you and I

can expect a cane, then walker, then wheelchair~the effects that ripple.

I trust that you desire for more.

   For I yearn to dance!

   I again want to look forward to a second chance.

I want to at least be as normal as I was before!

I long to take endless walks,

   to not have to plan for rest breaks,

   to just anticipate~

For anything fun! And no longer expect that others will gawk.

If I can set one goal today,

   my wish is to set my expectations high.

   I promise to myself and others to aspire

to reach these in good faith.
