Ankylosing Spondlyitis

Ankylosing Spondlyitis (AS) is a rare and vicious form of arthritis.

AS takes a LOT away from life but. to survive you have to be:

AS strong as an oak in a forest,

AS corageous as an Amizonian Warrior,

AS brave as a soldier in the war for his life,

AS stubborn as a small child in a candy store,

AS faithful as a religious leader,

AS hopeful as a farmer during harvest after a bad one,

AS greatful as an innocent man getting off of death row,

AS reliable as a clock,

AS thriving as a student recieving an A on sa paper after failing the first,

AS passionate as an actor on a soap opera,

AS determined as an activist for their cause,

AS ambicious as a flower growing between two slabs of concete,

AS focused as a Jedi during training,

AS patient as a single mother with multiple chidren,

AS positive as a positron,

AS motivated as newton's first law of motion.

AS influential as this poem.
