Silk 3D Gift of Exquisite Artistry Given to My Partner by Mary Ko

Miracle

After World War II lives lost,

Japan experienced a baby boom.

With help from US reconstruction,

young cries heard in every room.

All these eager young workers,

using the best American technique,

built better cars and electronics,

sold well, dependable and  cheap.

Even developed the best beef,

beer fed steers set a new bar,

they grew stronger and fatter,

highest priced beef by far.

With population rising quickly,

best transportation ever built.

Subways and high-speed trains,

moved people at record hilt.

Big-city expense and crowding,

eventually, had a terrible result,

young couples couldn't afford babies,

having none to their parents' insult.

One young couple had the means,

but couldn't seem to conceive.

They consulted an American doctor,

who found a way, to their relief.

When the little girl was born,

they thought it was a miracle.

So named her phonetically,

our little girl a, Mary Ko.
