To the lives I hope to save.

This poem is a message to my future patients. As an incoming first year medical student, I wanted to make a vow to keep my promises to the underserved. However, the poem is widely applicable.

You think we’ve all forgotten,
About the things we said we’d do,
The promises we made,
Quiet injustices to you.

But I want you to know today,
That I hope in days to come
To be there by your side�"
To be your ray of sun.

You will lean on me then,
And I will lean on you now.
As I wait for the day to come,
When I fulfill this subtle vow.
