Hour by hour throughout the night,
Parts of my body got in an awful fight!
My brain, while so fragile anyway,
Had told my back to keep me awake!
Spasms was making my back jerk,
As pain shot down to the nerves.
The nerves gave me a charlie horse,
Then the fighting got alot worse!
Right there in bed I had to sit up,
So my hands could give my legs a rub.
The cramps then told my legs to burn,
My feet then started to twist and turn.
The crazy thing happening to my feet,
Made my toes do something really neat.
The big toe went up and the next one down,
It became so very funny then I found.
But I think my eyelids tonight will win
For I'm starting to fall asleep again.
With the sense of humor that I have still,
Gods blessing, and the funny, little pills,
All this fighting in this body of mine,
Just seemed really funny at the time!!
So the pain now is coming to an end,
And I have to laugh at the
fight within!
