We owe it to our doctors 
 


We owe it to our doctors… 
The ones who took it to be part of Sun Pharma’s greater mission;
 
To prevent disease rather cure
Cure and control if that happens at all; 
Defying comforts of air conditioned hospitals,
confronting heats and chills
of seasonal tones while sitting in villages;
A zeal to serve those in pain
having set besides the monitory gain;
 
A cavalcade of patients all round the day 
Intense work, putting impatience at bay;
Educate and listen to endless woes
Mental, social apart from somatic; 
What poverty jostled them into 
have no means to seek medical care;
 
We doctors being the sole healers...
 
We do what we do;
Not for money, not for name 
responsibility is an assorted game ;
Had everyone taken to hospitals 
and been part of corporates that work for profit; 
And Ignored distress of rural and slums
humanity would have scrounged to bums.
 
Words fail to say what we take back ;
The smallest salving touch 
that makes the tender souls smile; 
The tranquil looks of the patient 
that soothes us deep down the heart;
A good night’s sleep 
and utmost content above all, 
Limitless goodwill, enormous blessings ;
No mathematics can compute,
no callipers could measure ;
 
Beyond the prowess we go ...
 
Meeting people to explore what more we could do 
Take them to specialists, to the institutions; 
Make them aware about Govt schemes
Involve volunteers from within the community;
Bridging the gap, reaching the unreached
Citing the logic, what cannot be preached ;
 
Although a tiny drop in vast ocean 
but very tender and precious ;
However small the team we maybe,
We proffer colour to the sky 
Imbue the aroma of empathy far and wide;
We can move mountains with a solo touch 
and change course of feral winds; 
 
With our staunch determination;
and incessant efforts;
Combating disease and ailment
Countering the social taboos;
We do what we do
and will continue doing so.
 
We doctors are warriors braving the front 
Have our families accompanying in this battle;
 
We owe it to our nurses and drivers as well; 
We owe it to our doctors !
