I wrote this poem about the MS... 

i thought really hard today
about how i would react
if you took something from me
and never gave it back

it was yours in the first place
i understand that phrase
and how "everything happens for a reason"
and how "you work in mysterious ways"

My brain deteriorates i know
and i'm sure it might advance
but please oh lord don't take my passion,
my ability to dance

But please don't take my sight
i want to see so much more
like the amazon, the great wall
there's so much i want to explore

Please don't take my memory
the thoughts i have are so sweet
you can keep all the bad ones
just the good ones let me keep

please don't take my intelligence
i'm really good in college
i can grow up to be something great
helping others with my knowledge

please don't take my sanity
i think i am a great person
don't let my brain die anymore God
don't let the lesions worsen

I know your will is in stone
and i should never contest that fact
but i'm begging and pleading for you to stop the mayhem
and leave my mind intact

And although it is yours
you can do whatever you please
but i would really appreciate it
if you could stop this disease

I'm scared out of my mind
and i know i never show it
but you see my cry when know one else does
so i am sure you already know it

i want you to fix me God
i have great plans for this land
i hope you will see me here pleading to you
and try to understand

i do not blame you Lord
for what has happened to me
but if you would heal my brain tonight oh God
i would finally feel free

So tonight when i lay down
and as I start to dream so deep
please lay your hands upon me lord
and heal me while i sleep
