Anderson, South Carolina
A friend of mine nursed a man back to health for weeks after he was critically burned in an industrial accident. His recovery was astounding. He received medicine that cannot be obtained in a little orange bottle from Walgreens. This shimmering example of compassionate community is summed up in a few brief words.
Civility
In horrors of darkest pain,
Your voice was there, soothing.
In vast loneliness of despair,
You held his hand, giving Hope.
With warmth of compassionate heart,
You brought him back from the brink.
In grim darkness of thermal anguish,
You filled him with life's radiance.
They say he healed rather quickly.
I don't wonder why this was so.
The best medicines are free.
