To Ecuador the surgeons went
to save the children there
giving them a sense of hope
to provide them with their care.

Such a sadness was felt inside
while offering this great deed
for only could they pick a few
the ones with greatest need.

Healing hearts and saving lives
while watching others die
surgeons, professionals one and all
still fighting the tears that they cry.

Unsung heroes, with caring souls
wishing that they could give more
giving their gift of healing touch
to the children of Ecuador.


{This is actually a true story
based on a local news cast.
A few great unsung heroes
from Hershey Medical Center
took it upon themselves to go
there and help these children.
It was a very emotional time
for them.They truly are
unsung heros.My thanks
to them all……}

Noah, this piece of news touched me.  The doctors were so full of emotion.  The families waiting in the waiting room after traveling very long journeys just to see if their child would be picked.  These doctors packed up and did this out of the kindness of their hearts.  It was so EMOTIONAL!!
Thank you for always taking the time to read Noah, and for your compassion.  Hugs to you.

Thanks Sey, and you are quite welcome.  It is good to know that people out there still care, and aren't afraid to try to give that care in any way that they can.  As always dear man, you are so appreciated.  Hugs.

Sadly, there are too many children in too many countries that do not receive needed medical care. Thanks for sharing a story where a few did get medical care and TLC. These doctors are to be praised.

I agree Kacy.  The sad thing was they had to pick the ones with greatest needs while letting others walk away.  To see these grown men cry and barely be able to speak was such a moving experience.  Thanks bunches and good to see you again!!

Donna~

Very touching...


Lauren~

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

Sadly this is one story when there should be hundreds.  You recorded this one so well, I just wish there were more.

Thank you for posting this Donna.
It is such a sad story
and how we all wish it were just fiction.
These doctors are truly heros....
and my heart goes out to
the little ones left behind.

Donna,  thank you very deeply for taking
the time and compassion to write a poem
which says much for those who have helped
some survive...  IF only more could be
done for all of the third world problems
and for those less fortunate...  We should
count our blessings..
