The Physician's Heart

This Angel bears no Wings of Hope
Perceived as aloof, cold or seperate
Seeing the wounds and scars of others
Placing healing hands over their hurts
Without ever batting an eye or a sigh

Yet this Angel holds his wounds inside
The burden of healing isolates him
For a doctor, the hardest wounds to heal
Are the ones placed upon his own heart
Making them the deepest and longest of scars

Wise in the most understated of ways
Able to see the nuances of each soul
Knowing the advice that works best
Is to state the things in their hearts
That they themselves don't want to say

So Angel with the Physician's Heart
Quietly observant, with warm intent
Caring for others with unasked
Regardless of thanks given or not
Not asking for anything in return

Find peace and soothing balms at last
To heal your own wounds, and be at peace
Find those that can help you heal
Provide steady hands to guide your work
Protecting and providing with each step
