Disease That Kills, Sarcoidosis

One day soon

The choice will come

That this life of mine

Will soon be gone

Doc's tell me

Get things in novice

But we know not

The day, nor hour

Or, of which order

No longer can I keep

The fight going on

With Sarcoidosis

Abusing my lungs

Now my heart

Slowly beats

The body is tired

To take more

Match's to defeat

But my mind

Is not weak

It's clear as day

Hope you get

What I'm trying to say

Not saying I'm giving up

But this spell of Voodoo

Of the disease, that kills

Is taking over

Shorter breathes in between

When I walk or speak

Calling all my Angels

Watching over me

Just let me have

A little more time

With the family

To fight like soldiers

In a desert field

Build me up to bloom

Like a flower

On a Spring mourning hill

What come

What may

Everlasting prayer's

In a whisper

Without fear

I'll take that bow

Just not today

A little bit later

Notes

I have this disease called Sarcoidosis, there's not much known of it.

I've had this disease a very long time, since in my 20's, I'm now 47.

Have wanted to write something of this along time now.

I hope one day more attention will be applied to it,

because a lot of people die from this.

There seems to be no answer to why?

Hello to all, sorry I haven't been here in awhile, just want to say still hanging in there even though the challenges have made some things difficult with family member's. Keep your prayer's in your request line for me. Just turned 51, looks like "God" must till need me here to keep my creative vision of poetry fruitful.
