[hometext] => I'm so happy to be back among all my wonderful poetry friends. It's been two whole years since I got diabetes. I'm now 72, and feel like brand new!
[bodytext] =>  DEADLY DIABETES Gnarled branches of a dead tree..... Diabetes is deadly you're n'er set free The only disease that affects every single body cell...... In the blood, your "Life-Source," ready to rebel. Like the tree shown above.......... Temperatures, water, soil, and stress without caring love, Diabetes is constantly there.... working it's havoc in each cell, everywhere!" Two types of diabetes I was taught, With "Type 1," a pancreas is sought No insulin available at all, Unfortunately it usually hits the small. "Type 11," attacks the older person. Our pancreas is fine, but our cells won't open. Medication needed to unlock cells so glucose can enter.......... Once carbohydrates are no longer blocked, you feel alive and "chipper." Diligence is needed at all times for the diabetic. A test must be done regularly to keep the blood slick, so it can run easily......... Like thick honey it can become, clogging arteries and heart attacks in some. Being a diabetic is all in one's attitude, Like so many others things in life, educate, and conclude.......... It takes no "Will Power", just a choice each day. "Do I chose to live, or do I chose to die today? IT'S ALL UP TO YOU! A three legged stool for you to sit upon takes much balance, Very simple, takes little brilliance. Exercise is a must indeed! A wholesome diet, medication, and plenty of rest, and a diabetic is freed! No need to freeze your dreams or put them on hold, Diabetics are quarterbacks, skiiers, dancers, runners, all courageous, all bold! I look upon my diabetes as a constant challenge to be conquered. Making it my friend, and not my foe, a wonderment to be analyzed, a joy pondered! Created by Lovingcritters  May 10, 2009  "Diabetes is like being expected to play the piano with one hand while juggling items with another hand, all while balancing with definess and dexterity on a tightrope!" ~ Marlene Less~  "Laugh at yourself, and never let it get you down" "Diabetic Smiles!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
