Nurses are more
Than people in white.
They are mediators,
between
human suffering
and human wellness;
Where what they do
Goes far beyond
What is seen.

A
path predestined
A life foretold
In heaven's books
You'll read your role
A
role of struggle
A role of charm
A heart of beauty
You'll find no harm
For
long ago
A plan was set
For leadership
To be the best
Before
God's throne
And heaven's eyes
A touch of magic-
Materialized
As
books were opened
Your story told
The Angels sang
In times of old
To
see a beauty
To you unknown
Your role in Nursing
Was purely shown
To
light a path
To place a hope
In every nurse
Within your scope
This
is the glory
That you do fill
For in your heart
God's placed this skill
Don't
be discouraged
When in your role
So many facets
Seem to unfold
For
high above
The star lit sky
God's watchful eye
Looks Down With Pride.

A special thank you to Joe S., RN, DON at South Oaks Hospital in NY, who taught me the meaning of superb nursing leadership and made this tribute possible. |
