In Their Own Image

by James P Kelleher

 

Some things remain to be seen

In the connection of

Doctors of a certain vintage

 

Beyond science

Revealed in decades of work

Once waiting to be born

 

A moment’s reflection now

Its own reward

 

In time

Students of the body

Inquisitors of the mind

Keepers of the soul

 

Kin

 

Perplexed

Comforted

Restless

Proud

Humble

 

Finding sensibility

In a new light

 

For the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Class of 1994
