Standing on the hill
Outside Wellspan Philhaven
I watch rising sun.
Now, it's mid-Autumn
Nights are longer and colder
I've worked here decades.
Wellspan Philhaven
Treats patients seven decades
I've served as doctor.
Wellspan Philhaven
Mental health facility
Brings hope and healing.
Lebanon Valley
Spreads beauty from Philhaven
To Indi'ntown Gap.
Under Autumn sky:
Valley stretches many miles
Geese fly their V-lines.
Under clear blue sky:
Jet planes glitter in sunshine
White contrails so bright.
Colorful foliage,
Beautiful sky and sunshine:
A perfect sunrise.
