  1. Diabetes has me.
    I wake each morning a little weak in the knees-making my way to my meter very impatiently.
    I can barely see, my thinking is slow-and with a prick to my finger, my numbers show.
    Will it be good or bad-will my numbers be so high as I record them on my pad.
    I cant go out by myself at night-I cant drive because sugar is taken my sight.
    My meds make me eat to much-living with Diabetes is tough.
    I run to the bathroom all the time-and my symptoms are not so kind.
    Everything is monitored in order to live-all because my pancreas takes from me, instead of gives.
    I go to bed at night I kneel to pray-even with the diabetes I want another day.
    I want to live with this overwhelming disease-and with the right dosage I will succeed.
    I am 61 years old-my life has become charts and meds, as the Diabetes takes it told.
    As I see others suffering within this society-I know I’m blessed even though Diabetes has me.
    They say if I lose weight things can change-take off, 50 lbs and my life wont be the same.
    But I have to take the meds to have a life-and for 18 yrs. I’ve had to fight.
    One day they will come up with a cure for our society-and until that day I guess, Diabetes will have me. 4/2/09-7am
