Angels Without Wings
Whenever you feel undervalued,
Taken for granted,
All effort rewarded with abuse.
Whenever you’re tired
To the point of desperation that you
Find yourself asking,what’s the use?
Whenever you feel unappreciated
That you wonder if maybe
There’s something better you can do,
Please remember the world
Is short of compassion.
That’s why it needs people like you...
You are so vital
To another’s wellbeing
Because of the active role you play.
Yours is the first face that is
Seen every morning that can
Either lighten or darken the day.
Though doctors treat
Frailties of the body
You too play a healing part,
You can help ease another’s suffering
With a smile,a touch
Or dedicated act from the heart.
For you take the place
Of family and loved ones.
Although a stranger,you become a friend,
A shining example of sublime
Humanity as you care
While you serve,when you tend.
So please never
Underestimate your purpose
Or demean your personal worth.....
For while God created the heavenly
Guardians,nurses are aptly
Named as our angels on earth.
I dedicate this to our wonderful nurses everywhere.
