Dr. Fallible…

you listened to me
and when my body’s tale changed
you tried something new

saying they were just
words put on symptoms for the
insurance company

and not the be all
end all final sentence of
my one existence.

you treated my whole
not just the sum of my parts
saying it’s an art

not only a science.
when we fail to find a fix
we should always ask

are we looking right
where we should be or do we
need to start anew?

I’ve never met a
single other doctor quite
as lovely as you.

Don’t leave me she said

as though reading in my face

the deep pain I hide.

Promise me she said

I need you to stay with me

You are strong enough.

I know it hurts mom

But you can do anything

You can fight this thing.

Promise me she said

promise me you will wake up

you will fight and win.

Promise me each day

you will keep pushing forward

you will grit your teeth.

You will not give up

If tired take the time to rest

If saddened cry.

Whatever you do

promise me you’ll stay with me

you are my best friend.
