This poem was written by a young man with HD when he was 21 years old.
Back, when I danced
Back, when each day was one of wonder
Magic in each night
Back, when the sun and stars were shining
To give a little light
Back, when the future knew no bounds
Life was so exciting
Back, when all the world was mine
My body, gliding
Back, when I searched for love
Leaving nothing to chance
For there was wonder and magic
Back, when I danced.
