Best of Care

Dedicated to the young selfless intern,

Ringed in a circle of compassion,

Sipped from the pond of dedication,

Values of core at school attended.

Dignity, integrity had befriended.

With valor seek those in despair.

Lend forth a hand of tender repair.

Touch of gentle patience, and love.

Through a hand that wears a glove

Sacrificed frolic, found time to stay.

Heed the duty, slept others away.

Unknown patient or one who is dear.

Accept HIS will when the end is near.

One day yu'll help a family mourn.

Touch then the shoulder of forlorn.

Working each day to help them bear.

Invent and contrive to chase the fear.

A new beginning to wipe that tear.

Fend for ones whose life's a smear.

With tenderness do a blessed job.

To pass a catheter or twirl a knob.

In havocs keep cool with a smile

At times make a dream worthwhile.

Every day teaches something new.

To impersonally provide what is due.

Much to learn, only love to share

Give to needy the best of care.
