Illness. Poem by David Boyce

Illness.

Illness is an awful thing,
It can happen at any time,
Sometimes easily cured,
But other times so sublime.

Illness affects everybody,
No matter if you're young or old,
Sometimes you can be hit for six,
By a simple common cold.

Illness can also affect the fit people,
But even more the frail and infirm,
You need to eradicate cross infections,
To try to stop the spread of germs.

There are many illnesses around today,
Which require drugs to try to cure,
There are also many nasty viruses,
Which are deadly for sure.

There are also many mental illnesses,
Which can affect the human mind,
These may not be seen like the physical,
But they are still so unkind.
