A poem for all of you nightingales

Published

"More To Life" by Angela Mac

She awakens at daybreak

does not take the time

to apply makeup and hairspray

vanity is superficial

more to life- there is at stake

She awakens the kids for school

taking time to make sure

they have matching outfits

and lunches have been prepared

more to life- there is to do

She awakens her rested spouse

time for a peck on the cheek

placing scissors in her pocket

draping a stethoscope around her neck

more to life- she exits the house

Awakened are the Nightingales

no time to chat over coffee

babes being born, surgery and care

comforting smiles and a gentle touch

more to life- in an angelic hail

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.
