There Is No Gift More Precious than One's Health

November 25, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week, in honor of Thanksgiving, is saying thank you.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

A thank you poem to healthcare workers:

There is no gift more precious than one's health.
Happiness must rest upon that ground.
Alight with pain, no pleasure can be found,
Nor joy in love or beauty, words or wealth.
Know that I am grateful for your skill,
Your sensitivity and dedication.
Out of strength, I dreaded all sensation
Until your healing touch restored my will.
