Being Willing
Written: by Miracle Man
7-21-2023
God’s purpose for each is to go and do,
for HIS fields are white and laborers few.
God make us willing to share our belief.
Using your word to bring others relief.
Make us engaged, not to just grace a pew,
so we’ll win lost souls before we’re through.
“The reward for work well done
is the opportunity to do more.”
Jonas Salk MD
Broken down meatal cribs with wooden bars.
About the first,
it was as much to her as I to it,
the cloth thread bare.
It was so much and different from today,
always dark and no sunrise.
Biblical, baby names,
like James, Richard and Robert.
A sister Sharon like an olds.
That never seemed to run.
Was always hot.
To much salk and lot enough
we turn away from doing that.
It is different now planned parent hood.
She wore a mask.
To even touch her face it ment another child.
Being pregnant when a man has had enough.
I go fishing
and those worms they take me back.

As Jonas was decried, put down
And ridiculed when he
Was doing Polio vaccines,
Successful in the end….
Is there no “Salk” out there somewhere
To do the same for this
Coronavirus nineteen that’s
Killing off our people?
Is it that competition keeps
Research lingering on,
Until large enough dollar bills
Are floating in the air?
Why should we wait for others to
Come up with a vaccine
And then race other countries to
Be first in line to buy?
What if Covid-19’s coming
Waves have mutated to
Survive in air, water, food,
What will we all do then?
It never hurts in this life to
Do as once was done.
Believe you can do something good
And you, like Salk, will win.

Dr. Jonas Salk
Cursed by colleagues’ malicious talk
His vaccine a success
His reputation a mess
A genius of sorts
But questionable reports
Made it no surprise
He never received a Nobel Prize
