"Walking With Parkinson's"
excerpt:

When did these symptoms first appear?
When did I notice anxiety and fear?
I could not smell the roses after a springtime shower.
Sleepless nights, awake, it seems like hour upon hour.

My arms and legs became tight and rigid,
Not to mention the tremors ever so vivid!
What is happening to the body that God blessed me with?
Maybe it’s His fault, and He’s just another myth!

It seems I can’t remember; words would just be lost.
I think I’m losing my mind; I have to know—whatever the cost!
When the doctor spoke those words, I could not catch my breath
For I just received my destiny, a slow and painful death.

Book Reviews:

"​I am Melody's sister, and I am so proud of her. She has taken so negative such as a diagnosis of Parkinson's and turned it into some so positive with the writing of this book. When I received my book, my husband and I were sitting on the front porch and I began to read the book out loud. I read the first 5 poems and both of us were crying because each one touched us in some way or another. I couldn't read any more right at that moment, but I have since finished it and I am in awe at how well written it is. There is some thing in this book for everyone. If you have ever lost a loved one, you will be touched by this book. If you have ever known a child or have a child who was born with some sort of congenital birth defect, then there is something in this book that will touch you. If you love nature, you will be touched. If you have faith in God, then you will be touched. You simply can not read this book and not be touched in some way. Well done sis!!"
