jerry hughes - MARK & PARKINSON'S

My eldest son Mark,
unfairly stricken with Parkinson's,
has had to concede his working
days are over.

He was a nurse who loved his job
and the geriatric patients in his care.
Little believing he'd be one himself.
Mark with Parkinson's, me with a stroke,
we make a formidable pair.
