***Originally  Aired June 12, 2016***

 Ire'ne Lara Silva is the author of the poetry collection "Blood Sugar Canto," which uses words to help face the fears about diabetes and to offer hope and healing to fellow sufferers.  Silva insists that our bodies are not just physical machines, but they must be holistically healed in order to thrive.  

For our Poem of the Week, Ire'ne Lara Silva will read "Grace," which is a moving portrait of a foot exam.
