From Ted Padova:
For Arnie
From Kelly Murdock:
There are doctors of medicine and doctors of law
And doctors who specialize in the muscles of the jaw.
There are doctors of history and doctors of prose

And doctors who can identify forty-seven kinds of rose.
Some doctors give shots, and some give out pills,
And most recommend rest for a case of the chills.
Some doctors are kind, and most are quite smart,
But often they speak while focused on your chart.
But the best kind of doctors have one common goal:
To heal their patients both in body and soul.
To Wayne Shelton, who inspired me to run, 2010
