"O MY BRAINY HEART"
O my brainy heart , skip a beat ;
Pump slowly and feel the heat .
While counselling the mother of a CP child ,
May i hold her hand & say,
Tell my eyes not to sway away ,
To say that the difficulties won't progress,
Rather than conveying it as a permanent distress.
O my brainy heart , skip a beat ;
Pump slowly and feel the heat .
When diagnosing a soon -to- be married lady with epilepsy ,
May i almighty also explain her fiance,to not make her a Patsy;
That she or her genes are not at fault and,
A healthy married life will be her's by default .
O my brainy heart , skip a beat ;
Pump slowly and feel the heat .
I yearn for the skill to reassure a shaky young man With ET,
That a simple treatment can cure him out of self-pity ,
That he can go out in the crowd and do whatever he desires,
He is as good as anyone else,
Whatever transpires..
O my brainy heart , skip a beat ;
Pump slowly and feel the heat .
May i allow the stroke patient with Wernicke' s aphasia to speak ,
& Looking at his eyes , decipher his emotion despite his jargon speech.
Make him feel that he can still express ,
That he is not in any way weak ..
O my brainy heart , skip a beat ;
Pump slowly and feel the heat .
May i have the courage , zest and valor
To not accept defeat , to not become dull..
Even if the disease is destructive, degenerative or diabolically deceitful
For if even i can not treat with all the science or technology ,
I can still be humane , have empathy, reassure and express an apology
O my brainy heart , skip a beat ;
Pump slowly and feel the heat .
