Neethu Francis
You
are a doctor now
With
academic distinction…
Congratulations
and
Prayerful
best wishes!
What
remains still is a year of
House
Surgeonsy…
You
have chosen
A
life saving profession…
Yes,
you can only save
And
not create life
Which
is the greatest
Of
the Creator’s gifts…
We,
humans could not
Enjoy
life to its full
And
that was what
Jesus
came to offer…
This
he made possible
Through
his healing
Of
the sick and sinners,
Seeking
after the
Lost
and the least,
The
unwanted too…
This
life saving profession
Has
become an easy route
To
make money
Bargaining
with life…
The
greatest of our rights is the
Right
to life, that too with dignity,
Freedom
and equality…
Strive
your best to ensure
This
right to all, more so the least…
MBBS
is
only a beginning and
You
have much to learn to be
Wielding
the wand of healing…
That
means you have miles to go
Before
you can really practice…
Let
me wish you a great heart
Of
care and compassion as
That
of Jesus, the ultimate healer
And
may he guide you and
Bless
you in abundance
To
make your touch
A healing touch…
Smile!
