V I S I B L E G R A T I T U D E

Every part of the human body is precious, there is no doubt.
There are the heart and the lung-but the eyes is what this is about.
Nearing 100 years of age I am so blessed without glasses I can now see,
and I am so grateful to my good eye doctor- how on Earth can that be ?

Dr. HERTZOG has been the keeper of my sight now for many a year,
and, to boot, he loves my poems which makes him ever so dear .
It is such a pleasure to visit his grandly appointed office place,
knowing in advance that no hurtful moments I shall have to face.

His fellow physician many times has given me a thorough examination
and his female assistants most certainly deserve my full admiration.
Always I am received with a very friendly greeting, it feels so good,
to know that all these people care about old me, is truly understood.

Some doctors offices you fear to visit, but this one I surely do not,
with gratitude i remember many a fine reception I so often got.
Now, that I can still see so well- surely I am ever so much blessed,
these professionals, taking care of my eyes, truly are the very best !
