Doctor Love

How healing be the gentle touch of love
Resuscitating us in every way
Banishing effects e’en long held traumas of
All through th’effective therapy of play

For who may hear their name sae soft pronounced
And think not, after, kindly of that name;
Their every virtue passionate announced
And take no satisfaction from the same?

Where else may we such sweet massage procure
With perfect pressure on each healing node
As doth inner and outer health ensure
And thus for its receiver wellness bode?

A nurse, more gentle than the gentlest
A doctor, better than the very best

Until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ and to begin once again to create professional connections and to rebuild her life, this poet presently lives homeless and at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level ~ still working seven days a week to contribute to her society, however.

Arts patrons may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com , using code #72D-31S, or choose to send a personal check to the poet’s ABLE account. It takes about two weeks for the poet to be notified of your patronage.
