What will his eyes see? He thinks of the hospital he toured Of the children, men and women All in pain and need Wishing he could ease their pain Wishing he could bring comfort Thinking of the nurses and doctors And realizing what he was meant to do "Father, mother, sisters too I know what I was meant to do I was meant to be a healer Strong of heart and gentle of touch I was meant to ease pain, soothe hurt I was meant to heal May I, Could I, Do you think I, Could be a doctor one day?" His mother so slim and tall Bent down to her young son Her eyes of blue twinkling with joy She said, "You can be whatever you want to be You would be a great healer You are strong of heart, gentle of touch And stubborn too Which a healer sometimes needs to be To get his patients to listen." His mother died soon after, But his father encouraged him too As did his sisters Though they could not resist teasing him Tormenting him Molding him into a good and gentle man Years flew by as the boy grew And soon he was a man He studied to become a doctor Married young Became a father Then lost his wife to another And his father died a slow, lingering death But he kept his dream Became a doctor Was beloved by his daughter He soon began to dream Of flying among the stars Meeting new peoples and cultures Healing those he could Mourning those who died Though he fought hard for their lives This doctor so gifted and true So gentle and stubborn Found himself one day among the stars On a ship named Enterprise There he served with his good friend Jim Argued with a man called Spock On the benefits of emotion And how you can not live on logic alone Soon their playful bickering Gave way to subtle flirting Then to a slowly growing love That they carefully showed each other Moving slowly to an unbreakable bond And when they wished to marry When their love was blessed by the crew The doctor knew there was one more thing to do He asked his love His reason for being To go with him to see his sisters To get their blessing too For they had the crews They had his daughter Joanna's But the doctor wanted his sisters too So they traveled back to Georgia And saw his sisters six Marguerite and Josephine elegant ladies Tall and slim With twinkling blue eyes And soft southern drawls Wyonna and Sanjeet Of average height and slim Mischievous green eyes and dark brown hair Soft voices with French accented drawls Rita and Scarlett Short and compact of build Gentle sky blue eyes Tightly curled hair And of musical, Celtic voice Having traveled from Ireland "Please oh my sisters," Said the doctor strong and true "I have searched long and hard I have finally found The right being for me Would you please give us your blessings Would you please accept our union?" "We first must hear from him, Why do you want to marry our brother?" They asked, Wanting and needing to protect Their younger brother Hurt too often by life Heart so open and gentle Their brother deserved the best They would make sure he got it this time That their brother would not be hurt Or this man in front of them would pay "From long and hard consideration From meditation and internal debate I must concede that our marriage to each other Is not very logical But it is the only right thing to do Your brother is kind and gentle He is intelligent and strong He is stubborn and mischievous He is a healer first and foremost He is emotional and has a heart overflowing With the desire to heal and with empathy I am dedicated to logic I am fascinated by science I am sometimes greatly confused about emotions What and why they are I am very determined Though others would deem me stubborn There are those who would consider Us a pair poorly matched, They would be wrong. He helps me to see what I can become He helps me to reach out to others He makes me consider other viewpoints I find him endlessly fascinating I find his curiosity, compassion and grace of person Immensely appealing Without him I am incomplete Without him my life would be desolate So though most would consider our pairing Illogical, uncertain to work and perhaps unwise From what the surface would tell you I find that what is logical Is not necessarily true I need your brother to be complete I need him to feel safe and at home Without him I would be lost I can only hope you will allow me To be with your brother For I truly do not know what I would do without him." The six sisters sat and thought They considered what they knew They remembered what Jim had told them They reflected on Joanna's words Then they looked into their brother's eyes The silently pleading look The yearning, hunger and anxious look Of a puppy waiting to be adopted And they knew Their brother would be happy only if Only when He was with this man before them This man of logic and science This man of honor and strength This man would try to protect their brother Even from the despair Len felt When death won the latest battle And they knew The right thing to do "You two may marry today if you wish Or next week Or next month Just tell us when and where And we will be there to wish you well." "Thank you my sisters," the doctor cried "Thank you, those who will be my sisters." Spock murmured in relief. "Your quite welcome." The six said, "Now get married soon and we will be happy." The end. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ASCEM messages are copied to a mailing list. Most recent messages can be found at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ASCEML.
