Huntingtons Disease
You have a disease
That nothing can cure
Reality sinks in
Your thoughts are a blur
You struggle to do
The best you can
This will be tough
But you will push through
You start to twitch
As if in an itch
You start to slur
As if in a blur
You start to stumble
While words come to stutter
Feeling this jumble
Riles your anger to flutter
You slowly lose
Control of yourself
Your speech and movement
Cannot do without help
This disease effects
Your motions, your mind
And your speech
You're no longer the same
As you used to be
But you have someone
Who loves you every day
For I will stand by you
In every bit of way
I will be your voice
I will be your guide
I see what is happening
I can read your mind
I care for you
The best that I can
For I am your wife
and You are my man
I will walk beside you
To keep you with pride
I will walk in front of you
So I can be your guide
I will walk behind you
To keep you from fall
For I love you unconditionally
Because love conquers all
I know you will leave me
I pray that is far away
I want to spend as much as we can
In our loving special way
To my darling husband
I write this of you
My love is unconditional
My love is pure and true
Know you are not alone
I'm always right here
Erase this disease that is in your mind
And focus on our love that is strong and clear
For I am your Pookie
And you are my Pooh Bear
Been best friends forever
And I'll always be there
Huntings is taking you away
Slowly but surely
I hold your hand tight
As we walk this journey
I won't let go
Until it is time
For God brought you to me
He knew you to be mine
Huntingtons I hate you
With every inch of my soul
For you are taking someone dear
That I will no longer hold
You are taking someone dear to me
Someone I love so so much
I feel I want to see you
And give you a final punch
Anyone with Huntingtons
Knows just what we feel
This is no joking matter
This is the real damn deal
Huntingtons kills your loved ones
As you slowly watch them die
This disease is no laughing matter
This disease is no lie
So if you know someone
Who has the terrible disease
Cherish every moment
Because anytime they can leave
I write this as my husband
Is surfing the internet
This thought came to my mind
Something I don't regret
I write this with pure love
As I pour my heart out here
Knowing that I love this man
As my eyes fill up with tears
