We, too busy to teach and really listen They, eager to connect and learn
Mindful of a time we knew nothing They, yearning to relate
Patiently allowing them to present They, mastering the minutiae of medicine
Reveling in their growth They, facile in adapting to new challenges
Thankfully being here to relearn They, our future
