A nurse must love her work Though many times she deals with a jerk Through all the travails of human interaction Her genuineness must be her primary attraction Her demeanor is truly stoic Her rush to help is truly heroic She is one of a multitude whose job is her passion Jenna is the ultimate angel of compassion
I was in the hospital and met a nurse who was dealing with an abusive patient. She was about to leave for the day, and I wanted to write a short poem as a pick-me-up. She loved it. I did see her the next day and she was still talking about her favorite patient, the poet 😊 Sometimes we can use our words to simply bring a smile.
