• A poem for my patient… (7/31/2014)

  Good day, my dear patient
  It’s so good to see you.
  I’m sorry I’m late,
  I’ve had a busy day too.

  Tell me your problems,
  Your worries, your fears,
  I’ll answer your questions,
  And dry up those tears.

  Remember, I am not just your doctor,
  Your dictator, your boss,
  Unfortunately today,
  What I am can get lost…

  I am your coach, your teacher,
  Your confidant, your mentor;
  I treasure your trust
  In the care that I render

  So my promise to you
  Is my best I will give.
  For my sole heart’s desire
  Is a better life you’ll live.

  So thank you dear patient,
  For coming in today.
  Remember call if you need me,
  And I’ll help if I may.
