SOL: Stanzas of Life

I. The Dawn of Learning
In halls of knowledge, where the light is bright,
We gather, eager, with minds unformed and unripe.
Books are our mentors, and lectures our guide,
Yet it’s in the heart where true wisdom resides.
We study the organs, the vessels, the bones,
Yet the soul of a healer in silence is grown.

II. The Anatomy of Care
The scalpel of insight, so sharp and precise,
Dissects not just tissue, but the essence of life.
A heartbeat’s a rhythm, a breath is a song,
In the symphony of care, we learn to belong.
Each patient a verse, each wound a refrain,
In their stories of pain, we find our own frame.

III. The Struggles of the White Coat
In the mirror of suffering, we see our own face,
Wearing the white coat, we carry their grace.
But the burden of knowledge is heavy and real,
In the depths of their pain, our own wounds we heal.
We learn that our strength is not just in skill,
But in holding their hands when the world’s standing still.

IV. The Pulse of Compassion
A student of life, yet a teacher in part,
We hold the stethoscope close to the heart.
Not just to hear the rhythm within,
But to feel the pulse of where healing begins.
For in the science of medicine lies,
A deeper truth that our studies disguise.

V. The Graduation of the Soul
One day we’ll walk in the shoes of the wise,
With the weight of our knowledge, yet light in our eyes.
But the lesson that lingers, the one that is true,
Is the humanity in care, the “me” and the “you.”
For in every patient, in every strife,
We find the Stanzas of our own life.
