About Illness

My dear dedicated student,

There are many enemies in our life,
but illness is the worst.
It creeps into us
like some horrible ghost.

You are probably tired now,
and I feel sorry that you're sick.
I don't feel good either,
but I hope you'll recover quick.

Take it slow,
Take it easy,
Think about Korean Pop,
and play with your dog.

When you are ready,
dust off your red cap,
reload the gun,
and come back rock-steady.

Natalie,
Anastasia,
and Iza (probably),
will be waiting.

I will be waiting,
patiently - presently,
yesterday - tomorrow,
for you and others. (Even if you can't come)

Hoping and Fighting!
Have a nice day!

Note: I don't promote gun violence - I teach military classes at school. They use dummy guns.
