Ole sickness is a malady <br />That is so foreign to mankind. <br />It affects the physical body <br />As well the spirit and the mind. <br /> <br />Ah, sickness is hardly a friend <br />If one would ever think it so. <br />Just examine the agenda <br />Of such an enemy and foe. <br /> <br />Note its history among us <br />Has ne’er been nice, or nowhere good. <br />It would rob of every comfort— <br />E’en every breath of life it could. <br /> <br />That’s why we fight hard every day <br />To keep ole sickness far away. <br /> <br />© 2013<br /><br />Walterrean Salley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-unlikely-friend/
