They say go out and live your life
Continue to be a husband or wife
But how can it ever be the same again
When your spirit is constantly on the mend

Things can never be the same
And MS is certainly to blame
My husband is out having fun without me
Because we never know how my day will be

Will I be in pain
Will I need a cane
Can I keep from falling
Can I keep from bawling

Spasms grab me from out of the blue
They come along without even a clue
Causing me to cry out loud
That would be bad when in a crowd

My gait is all funky
Makes me look like a drunkie
Sometime I just bump into walls
And sometimes I even fall

And yesterday was just the worse
Far worse than any curse
I can not believe what happened to me
And it's much too embarrassing for anyone to see

I had an accident common with children
And it didn't make for any grins
At least it happened while at home alone
And no one else need never have known

So how do I go on like I did before
Never knowing how it is on the other side of the door
My home has become a safe harbor
Keeping my secrets safe forever more
