Light of Compassion (Tanka)

Another beautiful little piece. As Larry says, human contact in these situations is so important and can play such a vital role alongside medicine. Excellent.

Simple human contact heals even if in combination with medical treatment. It is the touch that gives motive force to other cures, the caring person whose face bears witness to all humanity holds dear.

This was a beautiful entry Maple, really heartfelt poem!
