It is the East, and our clinic is the Sun

Lo! We have arrived at clinic for le premiere jour
A day filled with challenges, of word and of task
We have filled up our heads with such arcane lore
And in the glow of a trial by fire we bask
We bend unbent elbows, and lift sleeping feet
We show parents and children the path to healing
Radiographs are read, and evals complete
Poking and prodding (and "How are you feeling?")
Alongside our peers from Port-au-Prince or Jacmel
The patients are treated, then sent on their way
For a bonus - I only had one patient who almost fell
But he stayed upright, close guarding again wins the day
We learned lots, we got our bearings, and hopefully
Tomorrow and the next week are just as good to me.
