Miracle Joe

A true story about a  Coronavirus survivor, He told his family he would never stop fighting to survive.


                                         Miracle Joe

Amongst the crowd
you just see a stranger
attached all together
we all know the danger.

They tirelessly worked
so l  just kept on trying
527 and counting
and still they kept crying.


So many cases
together in hope
together in moments
together we cope

A crowd and survivor
and we all kept on trying
but you see me a stranger
and we just kept on crying.

Affected, i'm lucky
because lv lived through it
my loved ones connection
so the fight would not quit.

That day i'm a survivor
named 'Miracle Joe'
but you knew nothing about it
but i'm a hero , you know.

So many cases
together we hope
together in moments
together we cope.

A crowd and survivor
no more be a stranger
we're all attached together
we'll fight all the danger.

So many cases
together we hope
together in moments
together
              we cope.

Ink Empress Date: 12/18/2024 2:50:00 AM A very heartfelt poem this is about a coronavirus survivor. Iv had swine flu long time ago when it was really bad and was somewhat similar to coronavirus case and i got it while on holiday in UK london, and i had to quarantine myself and it was a very scary experience, so i can understand and feel what miracle joe must have felt and thought. I fought hard too. And was one of the worst experiences. I enjoyed reading this. Sending you light always.

E, which is now severe. They still dont know what causes M.E and people think its just tireness but ME is diff fr CFS as we have severe pain at times, all over. l cant walk/stand more than 30 mins, so l read a lot. Poetrysoup brightens my day.

Sara Kendrick Date: 12/12/2024 4:54:00 AM I am glad that he survived so many of those first hit by the illness did not make it. I got it in August three years ago, it had not been going around very long, however, I had already had two of the injections of the immunization for it. If it had not been for the immunizations, I am sure I would not have survived. I was sick for a solid month. Thanks for sharing this one with us.

We had 7 elderdly people die from it in just our own street :( l and my husband caught it together, he recovered after 9 days but l was very ill like you for a month,lost a lot of weight also. l too had vac & im convinced it helped me recover as l have immune illness so cant fight infects well. take care Jx

Joe Maverick Date: 2/14/2024 11:58:00 PM Well here's another one for you Jackie I went Through and learned to walk again.. I would Say its 10 to 20,000 to get it as bad as I and your friend would have..So my writes reflect That experience.. I also had the retina in my Right eye beginning to detatch yet this only Became apparent after the fog of sickness had Cleared.' I see now that due to the isolated ones Who had it that bad.' Did not warrant interventions what was needed was human Immunity through exposure like I had.' God bless!
