If I Am Not A Doctor

If I Am Not A Doctor


If I am not a doctor,
My life would be free,
As I neither care for a stranger's life,
Nor about his itchy hives,

I wouldn't get needle prick,
Nor get prolonged cough and TB,
Nor jaundiced because of Hepatitis B,
Spending months in recovery.

If I am not a doctor,
I would be home by five,
Have dinner with my wife,
Spend time with my child

Missed the moments they grow up,
Missed their graduations,
While I am busy in OT,
 Saving someone ailing heart.

If I am not a doctor,
I wouldn't have this heartache,
Of leaving everything behind,
And everything I loved.

Moving to another new places,
Meet strange people and new faces,
Only to find the city craze,
Nothing compares to my home,
My favorite place.
