Inside Parkinson's

Late in my life, 
My true love was found.
That’s when I learned
how love is profound.
 
True love,
gives you strength,
when you feel weak.
 
True love
fights for you,
when you cannot fight.

When illness arrives,
he stands by your side.

He whispers so softly,
you can get through.

When your energy dips
and fatigue wins the fight,
he reminds you to rest.
say good night.

When you walk slow,
he walks next to you.

When movement stiffens,
he will sit with you.

He holds your hand
together as one.

Every breath and each moment,
he will hold your hand.

Through the hardest of days.
through the toughest of times.
in the present moment, 
he is there with you.

When you need him,
he is there.

Walking beside you.
holding your hand.

Now that is true love
always there.
Staying true.
