Talking To The Doctor

by Rev P E Adotey

(When the Patient Is An elderly relative) 

Uncle George was over eighty-years old World War II veteran 
Intelligent, fluent in several languages and urbane 
While he entertained patrons at his bar with his humor and wit. 
In spite of age, still independent to a fault and loving it. 
Concerns as to his health and medications 
Prescribed by his beloved doctor were shared 
By concerned relatives as tradition dictated. 
Providing comfort for body, mind and soul 
In an eternal bond far beyond his eighties 
Of Healer Family and Patient 
In a triangle of wholesome love, hope and care 

In memory of Uncle George (Pa George) to all his patrons 
and the doctors from all over the world 
who were welcomed at his Bar in Accra, Ghana for many years.
