Healing

When you’re sick and you are reeling Since with symptoms you are dealing There is nothing more appealing Than a “How you feeling?” note. For while sickness has been stealing Hours and days, it’s been revealing Just who cares; there’s no concealing Who forgot to cast a vote. As your body starts its healing And you’re back to even keeling All concerned should know you’re feeling Better ‘cause they called or wrote.

Nice rhyming and pattern/format of, Ilene. It's always nice to know folks care. I kinda' like to crawl under a rock and stay until I'm feeling better. When I'm feeling better, it is then I can fully appreciate the caring notes and messages. All the best to you. :) ~ Artsie

I'm just the opposite, Ilene. When I'm under the weather, as they say, leave me alone! I don't need a card or phone call, or email to know my friends are thinking of me and wishing me well. That's just the way I am. / M

First rule of a true friend...they call, visit, or drop you a card or note when you are ill. It cheers the heart so and speeds healing I feel. A lovely poem Ilene, beautifully composed. This is going into my faves! : )

I have a brand new laser printer, and this is the second thing I have printed. I am trying to make a good example of every kind of poem. This is my good example for a rhyming poem, and I am delighted with it. Thank you!
