The Story of the Doctor

A doctor lives his life.

There is a doctor

In my hospital

Who holds pain in his eyes

His green eyes are beautiful

Especially when he smiles

But he doesn't do that often

He told me about the past

With tears in his eyes

And pain in his heart

"I've seen them die.

Quickly and slowly.

And I was the one to do it.

"I wasn't good enough.

Fast enough,

Strong enough.

I watched him,

Tears pouring out his eyes

I just let him cry.

"You've seen them die.

Quickly and slowly.

But you weren't the one to do it.

"You were good enough

Fast enough

Strong enough.

"You did your very best.

You did all you could.

You've seen them die

But you've also saved lives.

The doctor looked at me

With a smile on his face

And happiness in his heart

"You're right,

I saved many lives.

But you have saved mine.
