Healing Hands

poem in rhyming quatrains

Healing Hands.

I don't conduct experiments
to prove established precedents
I try to keep an open mind
to things by science undefined.

I do accept telepathy
and other forms of ESP.
I see no reason to deny
Some may have this ability

Some heal by laying on of hand
a process no one understands
But one that works obviously.
The evidence is plain to see.

To see someone become pain free
when they have been in agony.
Though all the doctors are quite sure
that healers can't provide a cure.

The patients know that healers do
that's why the will not listen to
The scientists who cant believe
the cures that healers can achieve.

Sometimes alternate therapies
do work much more efficiently.
Than what the doctors offer you
Both you and I know this true

Thank you so much for writing this poem!
I practice reiki (a form of healing using your hands) and before that my mum asked me to place my hands at certain places on her neck in order to heal her headache.
She claimed her great grandmother was blessed with the same healing powers and for some reason thought I had inherited this gift from this lady I never knew but lived to the age of 100 years...
Indeed some people do not take these forms of healing seriously and though lots of people are spreading the word, your poem is a welcome addition to what already has been done.
