Resilience Poem
Help me, help them.
You know who I mean.
Help me remember that I listen well and carry other’s pain and distress with resilience.
But help me with the ones who don’t know that.
Help me with the ones whose pain reflects anger and desperation.
And their frustration becomes hostility.
Help me understand before I judge and listen before I speak.
Help me be loving to the unloving.
And patient to the impatient.
Grant me wisdom and tolerance to see beyond the words that hurt me.
And through the sorrow that reveals their broken hearts.
Remind me that I, too carry pain and suffering.
That I, too, have felt fear and helplessness.
Help my patients see that it is my hope that they stop hurting.
Let them use me as their path to healing and hope.
And help me be grateful for the gift of human vulnerability.
Looking forward to no more pain nor sorrow…..
