as mother and doctor
setting things right, for me
means setting up as much as i can
to be nurturing for my family
friends and patients
i cannot protect them from all harm
i cannot heal them from disease
i can only give them what i am able
for their inner strength and insight
and for their environment to be
in their favor for health and growth
and for the caring ones around them
to know them – warts and all – as
persons to cherish, support and love
