About me

A mother, wife and civil servant, a conscientious citizen and patriot ----- my abiding love for books has made me try my hand at writing poetry, none of which is anything but the strictly spontaneous outpouring of a mind that prizes truth and harmony, above all else.

DOCTOR

I do not trust you, Sir
---- the tests that you order
the insistence on non-substitution
the emphatic NO to a second opinion
You seem to have entirely forgotten
the Hippocratic oath and its obligations

Alas! my need is greater
than my overwhelming fear
So I"ll trust to God
and fervently hope
that I die neither of disease
nor criminal negligence!
