"Ode to Healing"
A scab
is a beautiful thing-a coin
the body has minted, with an invisible motto:
In God We Trust,
Our body loves us,
And, even while the spirit drifts dreaming
Works at mending the damage that we do…
Close your eyes, knowing
that helping is a work of darkness,
that darkness is a grown of healing,
that the vessel of our tremulous venture is lifted
by tides we do not control.
Faith is health’s requisite”
We have this fact in lieu
O better proof of le bon Dieu.
-From “Ode to Healing” by John Updike
