Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 49 deg. F :-)
********************************************************************
49 feels so secure, like an old friend
whose still-youthful, firm hand extends
with self-assurance
I do not want to release
49 feels still-young and free
at 6:21 this morning I will turn 50
(although since conception , I am
well into my 51st year of life)
am i still YOPD at 50, or am i
a fourteen-year survivor of EOPD?
should Michael J. Fox reach
50 uncured, how will he feel?
People say I look young,
that I can tell the world I am turning 39.
OK , world, I am trying not to say goodbye
to my younger friends who are hovering,
still 40-something,
like Jeanetteand Joan,
and 30-something,
like Michael,
and 20-something,
like Jacob,
and 10-something.
I FEEL for you, young ones.
Maybe I am ready for the
transition, maybe not. Dennis
did it, janet did it,
why am I unwilling
to surrender my youth?
or am I PD which started too early?
I am grateful for the folks in the laboratories
at the NPF. I am grateful for the Udalling
that mary y. has done. I am grateful for
the courage of Anne R. and the stiff-upper-lip
of Hilary, and the IYQ's of uncle Don.
I am grateful to know I have a family
who try to understand me.
My hero is still 50-ish but not
60!
Mr. Muhammad Ali, take a bow.
Let's
raise money together.
I know a dynamo if encino
who could be emcee
Hey now, a 50's gala for PD!
I just found a tux at goodwill
so for $17. 95 I now have a 43-long
ready for fundraisers.
and I have been given 3 tux shirts
when I am feeling tuxxy,
I can raise PD funds like a whirlwind.
Let's cure it! And let's push hard, and
open the closed doors along the way.
Thank you all for being here,
from your friend at
cureit @ juno.com
(ivan mfowethu suzman)
I am grateful for the little stars who
won PDF grants, who might end the
suffering for some of us
Maybe my I.D. should be
50/14
The moon is full and lustrous
I think I should go look at it
again
And be thankful for all of you.
