The longer I work in healthcare, the more I am amazed
At the resilience of my patients who face
Adversities that insurmountable appear
Challenges that could leave one paralyzed with fear
To live productive lives with chronic illnesses requires
Faith and courage- their irrepressible inspires
Someone like me in ways that I had never imagined before
I learn from my patients who motivate me to do more

Each person you meet enters your life for a reason, they say
I am fortunate to meet people in my profession each day
Despite meeting them at a point where they are most vulnerable
I have a chance to witness their spirits indefatigable
I learn something from each patient I meet
I gain life lessons as their illnesses I treat
Passion...unbridled
