Nursing Poetry

High above the earth and moon
Where Angels dwell on high
There is a place in Heaven's home,
A place called Rainbow Sky

And every year a choir sings
As tribute to your role
The words of songs kept secretly
Upon God's Ancient Scroll

With every song the Angels sing
A rainbow does appear
Of such magnificent display
It makes the Angels tear

Then two by two the Angels pen
Each colored stripe to show
The meaning of an NP's role
Foretold so long-ago

To care for those within your scope,
To guide each patient seen,
Assess all symptoms known to man,
Then gently intervene

And though your patient load is great
At times, stress does run high
You strive to always do your best
A skill you can't deny

For in your role you go beyond
What human eyes can see
And in the scope of patient care
You're more than an NP

This fact, the Angels know quite well
For daily they abide
At every NP's side and watch
With feelings of great pride

As in your role you educate,
Your diagnose and treat,
And with great care and loving skill
All nursing goals you meet

So high above the earth-lit-sky
In honor of your role
A symphony of rainbows dance,

      That Touches Heaven's Soul.
