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.

"...the world needs...people like you..." ...there are those who 'unwittingly' foster the change that benefits others... a tai chi aspect of philosophy
