Exercises In Futility?

Futile? No!

It is good for me to go to the gym,
This MesS took so much from my life, yet I
Won’t allow myself to stop. I must try
To keep MS at bay, working each limb,
with the goal of again becoming trim.
Symptoms often cause things to go awry,
Draining my vital energy supply,
Leaving my hopes for fitness dark and dim.

Despite how much symptoms revolt, I must
Remain faithful to my goal of losing
Weight and continuing to gain more strength.
At times symptoms might force me to adjust
What exercises I will be choosing.
Helping me to live with MS at length.
