A Nurse

When all of your loved ones are gone
	And you're waiting for the doctor to come,
	I'm the one that you're getting angry at
	'Cause you see me coming around.
	Instead of hating you or getting mad,
	I try to show you how to understand.

	Though I'm not a doctor to save someone's life,
	I 'll sit close beside you and I will listen
	To your complaints, suffering, and pain
	Somehow, I may take away all your fears.

	Though I'm not a doctor who prescribes medicines,
	I'll serve you with tender loving care.
	For me, that's something I should be proud of.
	Even in your slightest discomforts,
	I am with you always
	Making sure that you're alright,
	As you're taken care with love and respect.

	I am the one who believes in miracles
	With my soft and gentle voice,
	I bring you love and hope,
	Render you my skillful care,
	And show you my priceless smiles.
	I am the one that comforts,
	Stands and cares for you.

	The one who dares to touch your hands
	In your delicate moments
	When you're feeling lonely and hopeless.
	I'm the one who lets you know
	That I will stay close beside you
	When there is no one to embrace you.

	Yes, I am the one with white uniforms.
	A nurse with a caring nature
	Who has compassion and empathy for others.
	An advocate nurse
	That the ultimate goal on earth is
	For the best of the human race.A
