In My Day

In My day, if there was a welfare line I would have been in it If there was a homeless shelter, I would have sought a bed If there was universal health care, I would have enrolled In my day, if there were wheel chairs, I would have been in one If there was disability insurance, I would have certainly qualified If there was cash and or general asistance, I would have accepted But in my day, such things were not available to me. So I had to Beg, pray, hope, and wait because I was an invalid who waited at a Pool for 38 years. That's when a man asked me if I wanted to get Well and I said yes. He commanded me to get up and walk, and That is what I did. My name is Matman; his name was Jesus.* 092319PoSoup *John 5:1-9
