Loved By Few-Hated By Many

An expression of a Nurse I am a Nurse, I am loved by few and hated by many Everyday I dedicate my life to saving lives of others From 7 o'clock in the morning to 7 o'clock in the evening Whether its winter, whether its Summer Day and night I sacrifice my comfort And put myself at risk of developing deep venous thrombosis Through standing Swimming in life threatening infections And deadly diseases Yet I am loved by few hated by many. My dedication, my determination,My willingness, my passion, my care They are all never recognized Only my mistakes are visible in the eyes of everyone Because I am loved by few hated by many From vomitus to faeces, Urine to blood, sweat to sputum My hands discriminate none In all body orifices they navigate to heal where it is injured Assess where it is wrong and comfort where there is pain From head to toe they travel to provide holistic nursing care To bring back good health to those afflicted by sickness Yet I am loved by few hated by many I am a Nurse, hate me, love me My hands will always be receptive To accomodate your entrance.
