My Journey to God

Heart and Soul of Nursing

Nursing is a privilege, a ministry, a full‑time job.
Nurses actively love and care for the sick,
The homeless, the birthing, the dying too quick.
Whether illness of body or something not working,
Nurses can be there when health is returning.

Some medicine perhaps, a moment to spare,
A nurse has a heart to offer good care.
A care-plan and orders, especially for you,
To ease-up the misery, the fear and the blues.
A compassionate touch, nurses see what to do!

Nurses sit with the dying, walk with the healing,
Smile at the newborn, pray with the grieving.
But always at night when I turn off my light,
I pray for those whom I’ve touched, and
Offer God (the healer) a prayer of praise I’m a Nurse!
