| From Tremor's Mist From tremor's mist an intrusion came, A figure that resembled me. It reached out its hand tamed Of tremor, amazingly. Could this be a sign I need not despair Over tremor's unwelcome theme? Had I given it too much care And weakened my self-esteem? I grasp its hand most thankfully With hope my future holds a steadiness Such as that which it shows to me. The figure retreats, and I let go blessed With the knowledge that in time to come, Tremor will no longer have me undone. |

| Waves Of Hawaii Tranquil waves flow onto the pristine Sands of the beach on which I recline. How comforting they sound, keen To my need to forget the times I'd been discomforted by my tremor. Oh gentle waves, flowing in and out, You give peace to my heart's murmur Of discontent. Your enchanting touch, Your warmth, washes over me magically And will soothe me whereever I go, For remembrance of you in Hawaii Will remain with me forever I know. |

"My surgery to remove her appendix Certainly did not bring it about in her To the point of shaking from foot to head." Yeah, doc, I thought, loony is why I tremor. I shook not before, but your conclusion Is I'm loony. Best you reconsider it. I wouldn't want you to look foolish when Neurologists see that you are not correct. After a time, the shaking diminished, And I told that doctor, "I must be less loony." His face flushed red, his cheeks twitched And he mumbled in a way puny, "Unfortunately, I was told I was wrong, And so now no doctoring is my bane. I'm to be a member of a special throng Of doctors who sing, "I goofed again." |
