With deepest gratitude

With deepest gratitude 


With steady hands and a heart so kind,
You healed with much skill, and preeminent mind.
When clouds of worry covered our sky,
Guiding our boy through the darkest night.

You went beyond what duty asks,
With patience, care, and gentle tasks.
Each step you took, each choice you made,
Brought light to fears that failed to fade. 

We thank you more than words can say,
You gave our son a brighter day.
For your hands, your heart, your noble art,
We’ll always hold you close in our heart.
