 Penniluck's legacy

My Doctor.


Most doctors treat their patients
From up above somewhere.
But you my dearest doctor
You handle them with care.

You let them know you`re human
With failings of your own.
You don`t rush them out the door
Confused and all alone.

You listen to their problems
You seek beneath the skin
You don`t presume your patients
Are just a little dim

You give them time to tell you
The reason they are there
Be proud of your compassion
Most don`t have much to spare.

If ever you should wonder
Why you do the job you do
Remember this - you didn`t choose
I think the job - chose you.
