Funny, I have just started wearing make up to work, because lately, people keep telling me how tired I look.

Here is a poem written by a friend of mine. Her name is Sammy.

What is a Nurse?

What is a nurse?

A nurse dispenses compassion with pills

A gentle touch along with enemas

A smile when the pain is great

And tears when it ends.

What is a nurse?

A nurse cries when a child is born

and when an old man dies.

She displays confidence

and quakes inside

afraid she does not have enough

knowledge to make a difference.

What is a nurse?

A nurse is called by God

to care for others.

Christmas spent caring for others

while her children open their

presents.

What is a nurse?

Late nights, early mornings

Sleep during daylight,

Work while the world sleeps,

Making the world a better place

One person at a time.

What is a nurse?

Overworked, underpaid,

Mediocre benefits, unappreciated.

Keeps on coming back for more.

A gift to the ill and weak.

She gets her satisfaction from within

From a job well done

From a smile given

From a simple thank you.

What is a nurse?

A nurse is caring.

For as the Bible says

What she does to others

She does as unto the Father.

A nurse is tired.
