Lonely is the road,
None is the company.
I'm here all alone,
With only stars to accompany.
I fight my own war
Every single day.
Life won’t be easy,
That's what they said.
What do I do, you ask?
I help those in need
However menial the task.
A Doctor without border,
It is noble…noble indeed.
Very few share my vision
Of a world, free of unrest.
Sometimes, all alone in my head
I wonder if it was worth
All the sacrifices I've made.
My doubts clear when I see
That child smiling
And her mother crying
Thanking me for saving
Her child who was dying.
This is my humble fee
For the things I gave.
A smile of gratitude
From the people I save.

JWrenover 9 years ago. . . I give to you because you have the heart and mind to be considerate. Last stanza is all that's needed. I see you don't allow voting, but this is a winner on so many humane levels. Thanks, Bard.
Anonymousabout 10 years agoPeople HAVE second thoughts when they choose a miserable life over luxury and comfort. I don't usually comment but the level of obnoxiousness & indifference to such sacrifices shown by tazz is not acceptable, atleast to me.
Brandybeebeeabout 10 years agoNice sentiments to the dedicated souls who selflessly help others in their time of need. It's a thought provoking poem. I hope you write more.
