For Real? The Right Side of My Bed…

This morning I woke, to a new day 

with no Parkinson’s, and feeling symptom free 

 

Was a selfish thought 

now a self wish caught

and had my PD truly neglected me… ?

 

As I lay there, 

my inner will spoke to me

with this thought, embedded in my head  

Its encouraging voice, saying you’ve got a choice  

on which side you exit, from your bed 

 

PD free, oh ya PD symptom free, 

was it for real or a wish stuck in my head 

I think I may have actually, beat the odds, 

and woke up, 

on the right side of my bed 

 

As I inched my way to the foot of my bed

 I checked, and thought ” Oh wow, is this really me ?”

Maybe a change in routine, is what I’ve been needin’ 

as the floor greeted my feet, can this be? 

 

Had I broken a curse or been cured?

or had my PD ‘hit snooze’ and slept in?

One thing I’d not do, for sure 

while feeling temporarily cured 

would be phone PD

and ask it, “Hey, where have you been?”

 

Steady fingers, posture perfect, 

a clear head

Had no trouble, making my bed

The 3 S’s went so smooth, heck I’d found my groove

and my morning paper didn’t shake while, I  read 

 

Ok do I stop now or do I pursue

this new reality, attempting to hijack my mind

But then, if this “no PD”

means mind and body are free

I’ll turn the tables and take back what’s rightfully mine

 

PD free, oh ya PD symptom free, 

was it for real, or a wish that was stuck in my head 

I think I may have actually, beat the odds, 

and woke up, 

on the right side of my bed 

 

So how about I try something  often asked 

If I could turn back the hands of time, would it last?

Am I pushing my luck when I ask for this much

Count my blessings, for this day will soon be the past.

 

Truthfully, what I wrote and now you’ve read 

was wishful thinking, playing over in my head 

It was, momentarily, nice to believe 

that my Parkinson’s would take leave 

And it would not matter how I exited my bed.
