Searching through the writings of the academia

Looking for some sort of universal panacea

Taking in all the colors of loss and healing

There seems one thing that is soul revealing

There is a lot of truth in some things they say

I suppose that is why these become cliche

Like an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure

And certainly beats the side effects we endure

One disease cured through medicine causes more

Frankly, I find that outcome to be extremely poor

They say that love and laughter are good medicine

I suppose that is truth as it is best and has always been

I do know one thing with complete and total confidence

Your loving presence has always made the greatest difference
