Poems, Rhymes and Thoughts

By Cristine Wright

From the author of this book
To write these words so you could look
I think about the time it took
Love and hope formed each rhyme
Capturing each moment and event in time.

Cristine Wright

I started writing poems since 2001 so people can stop seeing me as a person who is in a wheelchair. I want them to see the real me.

Me And Things Medically Inspired

28246.png

Me by myself

Cheerful even cheeky when I get to know you

Happy to share a laugh or two

Recite or write a poetic rhyme

Independence will be mine

Stubborn to the last

Time sometimes goes to fast

Imagine a future better than the past

Negativity I won’t entertain

Energy levels I try to maintain

Really long walks I no longer do

On good days some steps manage you know just a few

Sense of humour I’ve truly got

Even when I fall about

Made of strong stuff you will find

A positive mental state of mind

Rebel who doesn’t have a clue

Invest my time writing for who?

Each line of these little ditties

Written for love against hate and joy over pity

Remembrance of loved ones some taken by war

In tragedies here or on a foreign shore

Glorious moments captured in rhyme

Heroes of past and present times

Time’s up I’ve run out of letters and things.

My Multiple Sclerosis and Me

What do I see?

You, looking at me.

What face will you show?

I really don’t know.

They’re at it again,

That’s pity it’s plain.

Is it still me?

Or my chair that you see?

How do you cope?

With trust faith and hope.

I cope very well,

Trapped by this hell.

I could scream, I could hide,

Would that stem the tide?

I’m not a poor soul,

I’m still in control.

Can’t you see?

I’m still same old me.

So this thing’s got a label,

Am I suddenly less able?

All negative vibes,

Make me cringe deep inside.

I guess I don’t mind,

If you’re trying to be kind.

I’ve one thing left to say, a thought to takeaway. I’ve got M.S. it hasn’t got me!

M.S.

Mind still working what about the rest,

Under the doctor sent for some test,

Looking for answers doing their best.

Trying not to get to stressed,

Into the scanner suitably dressed.

Pace of life you will need to alter,

Let people help when you falter.

Exercise two or three times a day,

Slow down take it
