Behind the Healer's Veil
Through smiles, I weave a golden veil,
While hearts around me never fail
To seek my light
In darkest night,
Yet none can see behind this trail.
I dance and laugh—a graceful show—
My healing words in gentle flow
Bring others' peace,
As their pains cease,
While my own shadows deeper grow.
Each day I bear this heavy crown
Of joy I wear like morning's gown,
To ease their way;
Yet who can say
What weights are pulling my soul down?
At last, I rest beneath the earth,
No more to measure others' worth
Through healing hands;
Now peace expands—
In silence finds my spirit's birth.
