It was an old memory
Unearthed in my search
For government documents
A bit faded but not tattered
~ a greeting card
from a patient long ago
He was a young scrappy guy
temporarily wheelchair bound
with a smile and laugh for us all
I am grateful to this young fellow
and the gratitude I’ve had from patients
across many miles and many years.
Addiction is a terrible disease
that breaks the spirits of far too many in this world.
Gratitude breaks through that darkness.
“Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.”
~ Henry Ward Beecher
