"O MY BRAINY HEART"

O my brainy heart , skip a beat ;

Pump slowly and feel the heat .

While counselling the mother of a CP child ,

May i hold her hand & say,

Tell my eyes not to sway away ,

To say that the difficulties won't progress,

Rather than conveying it as a permanent distress.

O my brainy heart , skip a beat ;

Pump slowly and feel the heat .

When diagnosing a soon -to- be married lady with epilepsy ,

May i almighty also explain her fiance,to not make her a Patsy;

That she or her genes are not at fault and,

A healthy married life will be her's by default .

O my brainy heart , skip a beat ;

Pump slowly and feel the heat .

I yearn for the skill to reassure a shaky young man With ET,

That a simple treatment can cure him out of self-pity ,

That he can go out in the crowd and do whatever he desires,

He is as good as anyone else,

Whatever transpires..

O my brainy heart , skip a beat ;

Pump slowly and feel the heat .

May i allow the stroke patient with Wernicke' s aphasia to speak ,

& Looking at his eyes , decipher his emotion despite his jargon speech.

Make him feel that he can still express ,

That he is not in any way weak ..

O my brainy heart , skip a beat ;

Pump slowly and feel the heat .

May i have the courage , zest and valor

To not accept defeat , to not become dull..

Even if the disease is destructive, degenerative or diabolically deceitful

For if even i can not treat with all the science or technology ,

I can still be humane , have empathy, reassure and express an apology

O my brainy heart , skip a beat ;

Pump slowly and feel the heat .
