Support for a doctor who has saved others all his life, and today he is fighting his most difficult battle.
Poem to doctor Adnan Jupić
In the time when man
more asked if the morning would dawn
but what will the day be like,
a man came to our town
in a white coat and with a warrior’s heart.
He spent the war years in Doboj,
among the wounded, sirens and fear,
where life was defended
and knowledge and courage.
And when the road brings him to our city,
bring with him the most valuable —
humanity.
He didn’t ask who was who,
no matter what it’s called
nor does he belong to any religion.
Before him was only a man
who needs to be saved.
He watched over the sick until dawn,
comforted weary mothers with words,
and restored the children’s faith
that there are good people.
Many are living today
because the doctor is Adnan Jupić
then forgot himself.
Meet Amra in our city,
a woman with a gentle look and a strong soul,
so together, after the storms of war,
they started building a home
of love, respect and hope.
When the explosions died down,
continued to heal society,
each in their own way.
He in surgeries and emergency rooms,
she with words, understanding and concern for people.
They also brought two sons to the right path,
to be the pride of parents
and honest people of this time.
One followed in his father’s footsteps
to heal human pain,
and others by their work and honesty
confirm what kind of house is behind them.
People recognize goodness,
so Adnan is entrusted with the healthcare of the Canton,
and Amri the voice of the people in the assembly.
Because there are people
whose function serves no pride,
but for serving others.
And then,
like a silent shadow that chooses neither time nor man,
illness comes.
It’s hard to understand
why those who save others
they often fight the toughest battles.
But even now,
as the disease slowly tempts him,
Adnan remains the same,
dignified, calm and large.
Don’t ask for pity.
Don’t rebel against fate.
Carry your burden as it is
how he carried other people’s pain all his life.
And so today,
while many pray for him in silence,
our city repays the debt to man
who was with him
in the most difficult times.
Because there are people
that don’t go away when they get weak.
They remain in thousands of memories,
with grateful regards,
in lives saved,
in the children they raised,
in the good they left behind.
And Dr. Adnan Jupić
it has long since become more than a name.
He became a symbol
humanity in difficult times.
