Receive a poem to honor, eulogize or celebrate

Poetry enables me to ask why even when we already understand how. It permits me as a Doctor of Medicine, witness to the frailties of our humanity, to abet healing through the very core of what makes us human, ur language and our personal emotions. It is my platform to tell my 'stories', to honor my patients, my friends, my family and indeed, the essence of humanity; the "family of man". It is my hope that offering these very personal poems to the users of Maternl© for their own or to be shared with friends and family will bring solace, comfort and hope at most difficult of times and celebrate and honor those of friends, family and colleagues who are in deed praise-worthy of such.

Although the poem is complementary, I am inviting you to help support the over mission of Maternl© with a small contribution of any amount.
