Illness infection disease
Look at the change you've brought me
From eating to sleeping
From walking to running
From cleaning to working
From sports to school
My disease my illness it has changed me
No longer do I feel the way I felt before
Sometimes I think it's time I see you too the door
no longer do I share the joys I once had
And that truly does make me sad
My disease my illness you've made me stronger
Not the strength most think of but strength within
Strength that helps overcome trials the strength that gets you through with smiles
My disease my illness I've learned so much from you
Some days I dread you other days I thank God for you
For although you have brought me pain
Thank you Arthritis for you are one of the many things that make me who I am today
