You fill me, from my heart to my arteries and throughout my entire body with the energy to keep going. Morning’s kiss greets me as I stretch out, dancing in praise of another day. I am ironing smooth the sting from yesterday’s thorny day. I couldn’t save him. Like a bad dream, twenty-four hours ago I was tested and I failed. But the past is over now, one of many, many days, gone. I was taught to save lives in my medical profession. Another day...a fresh beginning. There is no written record of my accounts now, and no mistakes looming over me. I will save another child from a death sentence of disease, today. A series of mechanical procedures can heal. I learned the art of restoring life from lab practice and expensive instruction. And so, another moment dawns. I have all the energy I need to restore others. I have the determination to bring life to someone who is broken and this time I am determined to be precise enough not to make the same mistakes. As I am stretching out long and easy before the dawning of another day a drive unknown to me seeps into my veins and settles itself at the roots of my fiber. I am not thinking about myself this morning, but beyond. I want to build in others what I am privileged enough to have. They need strength for the long journey ahead, and I can give them that. Waking up each morning as healthy as I am, is enough thanks…I love my capillaries. I am a dedicated doctor. [Kristen Delaney]
