A Nurse's Task.
Work, work, work,
Never a task we shirk
From dusk till dawn
From dawn till dusk
In God we place our trust.
Smile, smile, smile
As we tarry awhile
With cheerful smile
we heal a heart
that wounds have torn apart.
Kind and thoughtful
Never mean or hurtful
for tomorrow our turn may come
It's now or never, to help another
As we plod and keep on the run.
It never fails
our gentle touch
to warm a heart anew
Little words that leave our lips
are like balm upon a bruise.
A nurse's day begins with love
but when sunset comes and our day is done
We hope that God will say
A job well done my dearest ones
But tomorrow, we'll start anew.
