To Teresa, My Physical Therapist
By Ruth Rin

To Teresa, my physical therapist,
Your skills from the start were manifest.
Though our paths crossed but times few,
With each encounter my life-quality grew.

Your uncanny ability to spot-on assess,
The exact location of the pains that oppress,
And find a fitting healing movement,
That is sure to bring improvement.

Your attention to details, great and small,
Has contributed to my health overall,
Like a magician who from her hat pulls a rabbit,
You concoct perfect exercises, which become habit.

This I must confess,
By your professional skills I’m impressed!

Of all my health-care providers
To you I’m grateful for your powers
To help overcome the pain,
And good health-habits to maintain.
