Nurse, will you ever know how much it meant

My fevered soul and body spent

That night you came to check my signs

Your caring touch soothed my mind

 

The calm I felt, your presence near

My darkened room held no fear

Perhaps, for you a routine chore

To me that night, it meant much more

 

From that time I saw you anew

Not just trained in what to do

But, a life of dedication

Of which just part was medication

 

When no one came, you were there

My body failed, you combed my hair

And when busy you had to go

It mattered not, you’d left your glow

 

Now I know with clarity

I’ve been blessed by your charity

And, the flame that marks your craft

Has healed my parts and touched my heart

 

thank you.
