Lord, how can I be a doctor?
Amy Moses-Nanthan, M.D.
How can I be a doctor?
When all things get crazy,
life, health, strength, and the brain gets too hazy.
How can I be a doctor?
As I care a whole lot,
It fills me with fear and keeps me on the spot.
How can I be a doctor?
With so much to be done,
Like study, teaching, and errands to run.
How can I be a doctor?
I am never smart enough,
there is always new challenge or a patient who is tough.
How can I be a doctor?
As there is never enough time –
To eat, to sleep, or even to rhyme.
How can I be a doctor?
That has so much to do,
With patients, husband, kids, and with You.
How can I be a doctor?
Lord, I know it’s Your call…
Or else I would, could, and should not be a doctor, at all!
