How healing be the gentle touch of love
Resuscitating us in every way
Banishing effects e’en long held traumas of
All through th’effective therapy of play
For who may hear their name sae soft pronounced
And think not, after, kindly of that name;
Their every virtue passionate announced
And take no satisfaction from the same?
Where else may we such sweet massage procure
With perfect pressure on each healing node
As doth inner and outer health ensure
And thus for its receiver wellness bode?
A nurse, more gentle than the gentlest
A doctor, better than the very best
