As we live and breath.

Huff and Puff

I huff...
I puff...
and that's just to get
from point A to point B.
Because, you see
I have what is called COPD.
Or in lay terms...
"Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Desease."
This is but one of four
major medical ailments I live with...
none of which has a simple cure.
So I must learn to endure.
 Praise the good Lord
for allowing me to rise each day
to moan and groan about it.
I may be huffing...
I may be puffing...
but...
I AM STILL TRUCKING!!!

Just be sure not to… "Blow the house down!" ;-)

I'm sure that these poems help you meet the challenge and forget for a moment all those pills you have to take.

Keep on trucking'
