He di 'n gape 'N call it ufin y1s111ggHe bellyache.

'N a ringin' in your head, lle gave you plain old quinine

'N sent you off to bed.

He could set a broken dog-leg Or fix a busted bike, Or mend your sister's broken doll, Or anything you'd like.

He knew each family skeletonEach poisoned, bitter wordHis ears were filled with gossip, But you'd never know he heard. He helped kids come into this worldHe saw old people leave; He grew a wise and helpful manHe saw The Master weave.

Little, thought he, of himselfNo greed had he for gainHis job was to alleviate The suffering 'n pain.

The laboratories of today Are tributes to his skill, The specialists and doctors Are products of his will. No sacrifice was greater Than the simple things he did When he was the family doctor 'N I was a little kid.
