This poem, written by Gospel to Haiti staff, was posted on the GTH clinic blog this past week. On the 3 week trip to Haiti hosted by AFH, the medical research team of doctors and students from the University of Chattanooga spent a couple of days in Ailegue providing some teaching and lectures for the nurses and staff serving there.
The Professors Have Arrived, Tip Your Hats!
Here they stand, Doctors in a row.
Each came to teach us the things we don’t know.
We spent hours with notebooks and meds
Or using the Ultrasound to measure baby heads.
Then, when they left, we prayed for good minds
To soak up all the lectures, and memorize the finds.
We slept on the info, and awoke to the sun,
A church lady in labor, and bandages undone.
This baby arrived fine, all pudgy and pink
We locked up the clinic, and went home for a drink.
Amidst all this hubbub, our hearts stop to bless
Our God, and, these doctors who came to teach us!
Wanting to bless the world with what God has given us, and giving a big THANK-YOU to Michael for making this happen!
