A poem about  our Parkinsons group

Why do I love this group?
So, why do I love this group? the answer is easy,
Why, It`s the fantasticle group members of course.
from all over the world they find us then ask to join,
most then stay with us, we hope with no remorse.

The admin team, well we are a proper mixed crew,
we have Ellis the menace who loves the group meets,
loves pasties and cream.a true friend of mine
we have a good laugh, though we can disagree,
to the group she is loyal as most of us will see.

And then we have Paula,with the creative bent,
she loves baking cakes, and is the group socialite,
she is a loyal friend, and a good team player,
cross her at your peril, and to Coventry you are sent.

And we have `S `what can I say, she is cool.
The methodical one, not much gets past her.
a wise head on those shoulders, a scientific head.
She gives excellent help for those that ask her,
a close friend of mine, we often talk a great deal
good advice she will offer, but will suffer no fools!

And now we have Russ, the new kid on the block,
he is finding his way, being admin is not that easy.
The young onset big `P` that`s his great motivation.
His determination and vigor should carry him far,
fighting for justice that the young onset deserve.
I think old established opinions are in for a shock!

Who else is there in the admin team, oh yes it`s me,
well, what can I say, that hasn`t been said?
I will fight for group members, you are ALL my friends.
So proud of this forum, and the way it has grown,
we have a good laugh, alongside all the woes
this group is an outlet from our daily grind you see.

So there you go, I have been on a roll,
this poem is nothing like I intended it to be!
It was going to be about you the members you see,
but, another day another rhyme 2 hours this has taken.
Just to say you guys all rock and the other admins too,
It`s given me a focus, taken over my life,
We may have the Big P, but he doesn`t have us,
together we will fight, we will shout, and we will cuss!

A poem

1. When you're alone with nobody to share,
   It`s so easy to assume there is no one to care.
   These long dark nights they drag on and on,
   these are the times you really need some one to share.
2. ...
3. Someone to share those feelings of fear and dread,
   those horrid dark thoughts going round in your head.
   you yearn the power of the comforting touch,
   those soothing few words than can mean so much.
4. You recall those days of ambitions and power
   that huge salary, foreign holidays and status,
   the happy family, the dreams and wishes for your kids
   Now those dreams wash away like soap suds in the shower.
5. Away they run go those ambitions and dreams,
   an endless trickle of hope, disappearing down the drain,
   Parkinson`s you son of a bitch, you deprived me of this,
   now pills replace those dreams and ambitions,
   and dependence and despondence alongside the pain.
6. The glimmer of hope that some day that cure will come
   a magical pill that may reverse the damage and hurt.
   We live in hope of that elusive pain free dawn,
   to ditch the pills and fear in place of happiness and fun.
7. So I have made it to dawn and I`ve taken the pills
   I have logged into our group and said a cheerful good morning
   We are an elite community of strength and hope
   we laugh, we joke, we share good times and bad,
8. You know what? you guys give me that strength, that hope,
   the determination to keep going towards that elusive cure.
   It may not be in our lifetime but we will have left our mark.
   I just know that being among you - I CAN COPE!!
