HOPE

By Ros Lemarchand

Hope
To have a better day
The pain to go away

Hope
This fatigue will soon end
And my body can mend

Hope
To find energy
Then start recovery

Hope
To improve my pacing
Against all I’m facing

Hope
I find new ways to cope
Which come within my scope

Hope
To increase more awareness
So disbelief is less

Hope
That I can work again
And all’s not lost in vain

Hope
To better understand
This dreadful M.E. land

Hope
For a future healthy
And at last M.E. free!
