A Herb's Advice To a Patient With Diabetes
A herb on 'Diabetes Day' in glee,
Addressed a man in talking spree
"Let's hear the story from me,
I have weathered the seasons you see
You can move and walk,
But Iam not free.
You can express & talk,
I can never be like thee.
Many medicines today you see,
Had their origins from me.
Be it wind or honey-bee,
We all work in harmony
Pay heed to lessons from me,
You can use parts of me.
In memory or wielding me,
Forget not drugs of thee
Helpful I can well be,
But at times tough enemy!
Whenever you think of me,
Consult the best of thee
Be mindful of quantity,
As well as quality.
What can the hazards be?
What drug interactions be?
At the service of humanity,
All the drugs,the herbs & me!
In future I hope to see,
Myself in the formulary.
We pray to the 'Healer of every malady',
From the world may 'Diabetes' flee".
