Illnesses Poems - Poems about Illnesses

Illnesses grasp

In illness's cruel grasp, I find my heart,
Regret flows deep, for pain I bring to thee,
My loved ones dear, who suffer at my part,
Yet fight I will, for life’s sweet harmony.

Though sickness shadows bright, our days made grey,
Your tears, they cut me deep, beyond compare,
Not wanting to die, this I do say,
For you, I'll battle

My Birthday the Calendar Speaks

My Birthday,The Calendar Speaks

Since January 4, 1951**********
(Written for the Shanks, the Youngs & Jim)
“...Raging glory...Forever young...”. Bob Dylan
————————————————ttt———————————————————-

The calendar speaks
Of this day, seventy years ago, when
   I was born.  Around 6 p.m.. Wearing a crown 
Of thick, black  hair.  And a never-stop smile,
   Instilled to fight the blues.

Shingles Chicken Pox Pandemic Too

Serpigo, roseola, German measles, flu.
Shingles, chicken pox, pandemic Corona boo hoo.
Chilling fever, chest pains, aches all the way through.
Muscle fatigue, slap cheek, and mumps poking you.
I feel pretty great today.  How about you?

Family Illnesses

illnesses too tragic to mention
angrily parading through families
who will be the next victim?
changing your life greatly
obliterating
nonsensical

Catastrophic Illnesses

Catastrophic Illnesses

Tom

The biggest losers in life are those,
Suffering from victim mentality;
Who stop living before appointed time to die.
Their mindset is one of self despair,
And can’t move beyond the question, why?*

* Isaiah 55: 8-9 KJV

Never give up, fight to the end,
And if you persist on thinking life has given you Lemons,
Make your last swallow, Lemonade!

The Voice of a Palpitating Soul

Dear penguin bearers, 

Your fears are my letters. 
Your attacks are my words. 
Your choking is my ink. 
Your voice is my language. 
Your trembling is the content of my story. 
Your agony is the magnitude of my magnum opus.  
 
I read your feelings 
I feel your shivers
I write your soliloquies
I sing your
