If you look into my eyes
you will find a young lady who has the ability
to laugh hysterically and cry uncontrollably
all in a day
You will find the jokester and life of the party
amongst her circle
Look into my eyes and you will find
I'm a mother, wife and friend
someone who puts others before her
loves those who angered her
befriends those who are different from her
brings those to tears in laughter
warms hearts with compassion and sincerity
but look a little deeper
You will find a young girl who still seeks approval
who's pain is deep and tears are shallow
but look a little deeper and you will find
the contentment of my present
the excitement of my future
the pain of my past
look a little deeper and you will find a young lady
who loves people
but wants to be alone (still tryin to figure that one out)
you will see a mother, wife and friend
deal with the curses of MS daily but ignore it
and keep it moving
you will find someone who will love so hard
til' it hurts
who has dealt with her own insecurities
not big enough, not tall enough and yes
not dark enough
Looking into my eyes will tell you
where I've been
the path I've followed
and pain I've endured
but look into my heart and you will find
where I'm headed
the happiness I' ve felt
and the journey I'm seeking
Look into my eyes......

Tia, this could really be an Anthem for Women. I love this! I'm with you, I love people but am happiest or should I say very content with being alone!
I'm so very proud that you share your personal struggles on your blog. I just spoke with my friend yesterday about her MS and she is really in a happier place than she was whe she initially got the news. I know that you had a lot to do with that!
Love, peace and prayers!
Continue to embrace and enjoy your journey!

Thanks ladies. I was hurting when I wrote this last year. It's a repost that I decided to post again. Our friend Don first learn of my MS from this poem. This is when he introduced me to BLINDERS OFF. FreeSpirit can you give me her email address again? I never saved it because we were writing back to back. Now I want to check on her and I can't. She's been on my mind for weeks!!!
one of my best friends who is like a sister to me, just got diagnosed with MS. i immediately thought of you because you are a beautiful young woman who is living with this and so is she. we're all about the same age. she's 29. she is in denial right now trying to get 3rd and 4th opinions. God bless you and your openness about it. i want her to read your blogs...just because.... :)
@ real talk- Hey girl..I thougth of you last week. I miss you girl!!! How are you? Please tell your friend that you know someone her age that is going through the same thing and that she is an open book. Anything she needs, encouragement, someone to talk to, or whatever, let her know that I told you she can email or call me anytime. I AM HERE!! I'm also taking a all natural juice that has been helping me. Its good for everyone! Sick or not.
My post about the new year 09 talks a lot about my MS too..it is also a repost on this first page. Read it and share it with her.
