A Profound Lesson

I visited a doctor friend of mine At night to find out if he is fine Found a few patients in a line My watch displayed time as nine “Could you your precious time spare? Let’s together get away from worldly care” To decline his request I did not dare Because they make thrilling life’s warfare Entered a patient with left arm stretched out Lacking strength even to shout “It’s feeble” just that symptom he told all about The affliction caused seeds of worries to sprout My friend examined his hand Fixing and removing many a band Upon ‘the cause’ he did land The prescribed pills of a particular brand “The cause has been identified dear Be happy! No more fear Your hand will be normal this year Tell you dear ones far and near.” A smile blossomed on the patient’s face Driving restlessness without any trace Hopeful and happy to resume the race So as to run filled with God’s grace. Stretched out like a piece of plot Blocking blood pumped out at every slot It was an arterial blood clot That pushed him into the afflicted lot What was the lesson so profound” I gained in a hospital ground Holy Spirit gave me a mind so sound I rejoiced at having a treasure found In truth I came with a disturbed mind God’s answers there I did find Come to Me and do get bind Repeatedly He did remind “Your friend can help to some extent As long as he lives in this earthly tent Lo! To Me always you can your emotions vent For this My only son Christ I had sent.” To the greatest Physician all your troubles take He’ll examine and pinpoint your mistake His treatment will crush your every heartache He promises never to forsake. God let me to the still waters and I ran Back home an enlightened man Seeking mortal help first I did ban From that day on, blessings filled my can.
