The Greatest Gift

It's taken for granted,
It's assumed to be there.
We hold it so dear,
But, we dont always care.
If it doesn't affect you,
You politely will ask,
'How are you today'?
But, it's merely a task.

It presents in many forms,
A continuim of pain?
Sometimes weakness, sometimes nausea,
But it's always a bane.
To the person who's suffering,
It takes over their life.
Struggling with activities,
Becomes one big strife.

Families are angels,
Not paid, just in kind.
They're tolerant and patient,
Support, hard to find.
So, if asked what you wish for,
Dont be misled by wealth,
For the Greatest of Gifts,
Believe me.................IT'S HEALTH!
 
Great poem...Subee is great at that though. I think public health care is what separates good nations from mediocre ones. (was going to say 'great nations' but not sure there are any around at the moment). America will, maybe, never be great again until it takes care of it,s own people, I think. Look at it now...and you can see a country broken by buffoons...elected ones at that. Angry and horrible.
Public health care will always be a challenge in my opinion. It will never be perfect...it can't be, can it? We have to keep working at it...the alternative is...well...un-caring at best.
