I asked her what did she think the poem was saying, she said, “I thought it was saying, “Who do you think you are.” She was startled and shocked that someone would send something like this. The poem stopped her in the middle of all her activities. Even though she had a strong negative response she did not throw the item away. She was open to reading it again to discover why she had such a strong reaction to four simple lines. In a matter of seconds upon reading the poem the second time she said - she was humbled. She could not believe the impact the poem had on her. This profound experience lead to the order of 500 book markers to be distributed to every single employee at the hospital.
