Angels On Earth

She has no wings or a halo on her head.
She stands over you, has you lie in your bed.
She's a McMillan nurse, stood over your deathbed.

She has eyes of blue and heart of gold.
She as caring nature and a calm head.
She stands over you as you lie in your bed.

They are angels in our midst, behold. 
They are pure human thoroughbreds. 
Her caring nature and a calm head.

Bringing peace and serenity, all told. 
Human angels with loving care to spread .
They are pure human thoroughbreds.

Deity's of reality not fables of old. 
Don't let our admiration go unsaid.
Human angels with loving care to spread.

The finest examples of us humans, true gold.
She as no wings or a halo on her head.
Don't let our admiration go unsaid.
She a McMillan nurse, stood over your deathbed.

Stephen, well done indeed, and good on you for mentioning nurses. I had never heard of McMillan nurses, but I just read up on them. Sure does look like it takes a special person; maybe even an angel.
