I am an example

What it's like to live in pain

With chronic arthritis

All my life it will remain.

There is no cure for this disease

It's genetic so they say

Many hundreds of different kinds

Stalk us night and day.

Research offers little

Experimental drugs are a few

To help relieve our daily pain

Little hope for me and you.

Joints swell and twisted

Bones thin and easily break

Osteoporosis seems to take over

Strong bones are hard to make.

Many children are affected

Their bodies suffer so

Living a life of so much pain

Why this happens I do not know.

Those in pain cannot hide it

Human suffering a sight to see

Living with this dreadful disease

Constant pain it seems to be.

All we can do is pray someday

The suffering will be in the past

A life pain free and happy

Will be ours to enjoy at last.

Help Us All Father Who Is Suffering Pain.

Touch Us With Thou Healing Hands I Pray...

I have suffered with Rheumatoid Arthritis,

Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis for 18 years.

My Grandmother and Mother also suffered from the deliberating disease. My Mother died of the serious side affects of Diverticuclar Disease.  I pray that some day a cure will be found.
