I was both an artist and an engineer. Several years ago I was diagnosed with Early Onset Parkinson's Disease. PD has taken away most of my ability to work and to make art. Poems are my way of sharing and maybe helping somebody following a similar path.
If you like my poems, more are available on Amazon in ebooks. I would encourage you to read them. Please let me know your thoughts. If you would like to see me and hear my story go to You Tube, search on 'Andy, His Shop, and Jesus.' Watch the video.
God gave each free will
not every one will accept Christ
in fact the majority never will
at least not in this life we know
...
to those around me
Stress kills Parkinson's
it makes everything worse
it makes all my muscles hurt
...
I am here
up the mountain
where most didn't want me to be
most said stay home in bed
...
it's a long road home
and we can't go back
to the way it was
when we were young
...
I see the fallen soldier
struggle to stand up
overcoming obstacles
he lost an arm and leg
...
