Doctor

Doctor...
More than a pair 
of skilled hands
Or a scientific mind
She is compassionate, warm
sympathetic and kind
Faithfully diligent
to save and to serve
Helping and healing
with the steadiest nerve
Doctor...
May God in heaven
guide your precious hands
Whether it be at home
or in other foreign lands
May He keep you safe
in His loving arm
As you fulfill your promise to
do no harm

Thank you. I actually wrote this for my doctor. I wrote it out in calligraphy and put artwork around it and framed it for her. She loved it! Thank you for your kindness! God bless and keep writing...

This is very unique and yet so real. We normally don't take time to appreciate the doctors that do care. Nice going!!!
