Hi all,
While I respect that with the diversity of members of this site, not everyone celebrates Christmas, I thought you might all still appreciate this “revised” version of a classic poem. I tapped into an “AI” tool, gave it a few suggestive prompts, made a few personal tweaks, and this was my reward.
It’s inspired by each and every one of you and your personal journeys along with the medical machine behind us all.
May this bring you some joy over this festive season. You are all warriors. ❤️
Twas the Night Before Christmas- Teal Sisters Style
“Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the ward, Not a person was weary, or feeling ignored. The IVs were hung by the bedsides with care, In hopes that a breakthrough soon would be there.
The Teal Warriors rested, so brave and so bold, With stories of courage that deserve to be told. While visions of healing danced bright in their heads, They fought through the journey from hospital beds.
Then out in the lab, there arose such a clatter, The researchers sprang to see what was the matter. Away to the microscopes, they flew like a flash, To hunt down the cells in a life-saving dash.
The light on the slides of the new-fallen DNA, Gave a luster of hope to the dawn of the day. When what to our wondering eyes should appear, But a team of doctors and nurses so near.
With a brilliant oncologist, lively and quick, We knew in a moment, they’d help find the trick. More rapid than eagles, their treatments they came, And they whistled and shouted and called them by name:
"Now, Biomarker! Now, Clinical Trial! Now, Targeted Therapy! Now, Chemotherapy! Now, Surgery! Now, Immunotherapy! To the end of the tumor! To the source of it all! Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
The nurses moved softly with comfort and grace, With a smile for the heart and a mask on their face. They checked every vitals, they held every hand, The kindest companions in all of the land.
The researchers cheered as the data grew clear, "The cure is much closer! It’s finally near!" They’d spent every hour, through night and through day, To sweep every shadow of cancer away.
The Teal Warriors rose with a spark in their eye, Under banners of hope that reached for the sky. For the strength of a sisterhood, vibrant and teal, Is the power that helps every spirit to heal.
And I heard them exclaim, as the lights dimmed out right: "Happy healing to all, and to cancer—goodnight!"”
