Just a little wordplay. People who speak other languages often say American words in comical ways. My partner has a friend who actually is Japanese and named, Mary Ko.

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. Copyright 2023 © Ronald W. Hull 6/15/23 You can read and print this poem my website here.

I read an article that stated the Japanese government would pay couple to have babies now. From the ashes they rose. Enjoyed.

A fine testament to a nation fallen in war. A for the pronunciation problems, I understand them well. I just finished giving a pronunciation course here in Miami. The poor Brazilian girl who told me she cames from the Amazonas had serious problems pronouncing English sentences. I could only understand roughly half of what she said. I eventually got her a simple, plastic voice to ear instrument that amplified her voice directly into her ear and had her read aloud. It worked - yes - miracles!

Mary Ko rhymes with miracle. Yes, some children are miracles, a gift from God. Unfortunately, the "me" generation of nowadays fail to see the miracles.

There has been a lot of advancement after WWII in terms of technology. Wars or no Wars the world still spins its way and the humans still go on living.

This is such a moving poem of how a nation came back from being defeated then really became almost too successful. Yet hope remains in the birth of a child.
