It addresses the gift of why and how helping others is done with a collection of poems, and through humor, sincerity, frankness, and genuineness. With the poetic stories are the hardships dealing with an incurable disease and why support is critical. Finally, personal choices for the reader become apparent for active, positive involvement.

      Poetically Helping - Joel Ferris Magrini

      Teachers

      16 November 2019

      Try to teach me and I will try to learn.

      Talk to me, make me yearn, make me believe you are

      a teacher who wants me

      to really learn.

      Back and forth we go, you try to teach and I will try to learn as

      we go.

      Don’t bore me. Challenge and coach, bring out knowledge beyond reproach.

      Equal dignities rule,

      if I do not study, then I am a fool.

      If you do not educate, then you are a bad tool.

      Hopes and Dreams

      December 2019

      Hopes and dreams are much

      more than they seem.

      What carries us upward are

      the possibilities in life, regardless

      of hard times in between.

      Preparations and hard work too are just some of the necessary things to do.

      The journey should be joyful with every task ahead, made. Sometimes it is okay to be frustrated, angry, even sad, but never let your hopes and dreams fade.

      This Time

      October 2017

      At one time or another we have positive thoughts that turn into actions.

      Great ideas only come once in a while. Hell, it took me almost thirty

      years for this poem to compile.

      You cannot force a good idea

      even if your mind is crystal clear.

      Remember, half a solution is not

      a waste of time.

      The secret is to wait and tuck your thoughts

      in the far corners of your mind.

      Think it through with your heart, and your mind will carry the thought through.

      No worries. Positive actions

      you will produce.

      Give yourself a chance, this time cut your doubts loose.

      The moment will come when the time is right. Then, and

      only then, is it
