As my doctor,
you're a healer.
As a peer,
you're peerless.
I look at you knowing I want to be like you...
Healing hands,
straight words,
no lies-

Your life is what I have always pined to live.
When I see your veined hands,
delicate touch,
intense gaze,
lithe posture,
I wish I too, could embody:

"I rarely have negative thoughts.
I have high self esteem.
I make things work.
I feel comfortable with myself.
I feel alive inside.
I spend practically every moment every day doing things that are important.
I spend a lot of time developing my skills.
I know who I am.
I know exactly what makes me happy.
I optimize.
I am persistent."

When you pat me on the shoulder,
I feel like it's ok.
