Have you ever been sick? <br />Walked that hospital floor with a stick <br />Have you ever been sick? <br />Had an operation painted graphically horrific <br /> <br />My knees, weak they felt <br />I heard their voices melt <br />Into pain from poor health <br />For them rebirth or death sickness spelt <br /> <br />Suddenly I realized life is not static <br />While listening to a tale so tragic <br />A mother cried at sicknesses trick <br />Her family of four it decided to pick <br /> <br />At any time we can lose <br />Anyone sickness decides to abuse! <br /> <br />Have you ever been sick? <br />In vain visited numerous clinics <br />Have you ever been sick? <br />Wondering where life will next kick <br /> <br />Have you ever had a cough? <br />Thinking you are having it so rough <br /> <br />Have you ever suffered from heat? <br />Knowing others gave up there in defeat <br /> <br />Have you suffered from cuts? <br />Or open wounds that severely hurt <br /> <br />Have you ever looked at the sick? <br />And thought anyone of them eccentric <br /> <br />Health is wealth and good health for sure <br />Is created by thoughts that are deemed pure <br />While the clock goes tick-tock-tick <br />If you ever find yourself sick <br />It helps to eliminate the negative traffic <br />With more than just a mere flick <br /> <br />Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/have-you-ever-been-sick/
