A Nurse
A Nurse
Her shoes are worn and dirty
From long hard hours here.
Her hands tough and calloused
Still gently wipe a tear.
Her heart is full of stories,
Some are near and dear.
Some she tries to forget,
But remembers all too clear.
Her walk is purposeful,
Eyes set on a goal.
She still stops to listen,
When people bear their soul.
She is a nurse who cares.
She’ll listen to their fears.
She’ll carry them in her heart.
And she’ll swallow her tears.
She’ll walk on to the next,
And make them feel loved.
Because that’s what nurses do.
Even masked, gowned and gloved.

What an Honor
What an honor it is
Caring for you like this.
What an honor it is.
Here with ones you hold dear.
Drying their quiet tears.
As your end now draws near.
I know you can hear me,
So I will speak gently
As you soon leave me.
Soon good is all you’ll see.
Go on.
It’s ok.
You’re safe.
Pass gracefully.
