The poem is now featured on the
Internet at (www.poetry.com) and
will be published in a book of poetry
bv the International Library of Po-
etry. She was also informed that
she is in the semi-final competition
in the International Open Amateur
Poetry Competition which will offer
a grand prize of $1,000.
She said that her poem is untitled
because she couldn’t come up with
a title that seemed to fit. The poem
is as follows:
Untitled
Time is too precious, but a cure
would be sweet,
For helpless people with M.S. to
be able to stand on 2 feet.
When I think of M S. I think of my
beloved uncle...
A man who at one point was
standing strong and bold,
then, slowly deteriorating,
slowly beginning to unfold.
This was not because of his age,
nor the color of his skin...
It was the overwhelming power
of this disease that had creeped
within
Clouded by the words from medi-
cal doctors, and other physicians,
He wanted to live his life to the
fullest by God’s word,
which gave him the position.
Although his life ended after
years of struggle,
First with a cane, then a walker,
later a mobile wheel chair...
, What more could he bear?
His body gave out as quick as the
falling rain
No more medicine, no more doc-
tors, no more pain.
He left us with the dignity to love
That time is precious time is
without a doubt a blessing sent
from up above.
So, when the world of professions
such as chemists, doctors, and
laboratory technicians
come together for a cure,
No pain, no suffering, or tears will
people with M.S. endure.
