River

Year after year flowing through halls
A healing river of humanity
Quickly it comes
So soon it goes
Carrying with it all it knows
Out to the state and world
It flows and flows
A warm stream
Healing for the suffering

Laura Stanley is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Neurobiology and Developmental Sciences.
