Caring Hands

Caring hands massage my body and soul, rejuvenating hope with a mere touch: she is an Angel; she helps me so much. And every day, as we take a short stroll, she makes me believe I'll achieve my goal. In time, I'll no longer require a crutch, or at least, I will have less need for such thanks to my nurse; I'll once again feel whole. Her determination forces me on, torturously rubbing my legs each day. She'll taunt and bully me if I resist, demanding I work the pain, till it's gone. And despite my screams, she'll not back away, but, instead, will mercilessly insist.

Nice tribute. I love your last two lines: "And despite my screams she’ll not go away but instead will mercilessly insist."

Lovely tribute4 to nurses Emile. My daughter is a nurse and she is an angel to her patients. They adore her. My other daughter is a massage therapist. She is my youngest and massage is her gift to me for caring for her daughter. ;) #7

She just came to pick up her daughter and gave me a much needed massage this evening. I do feel really blessed. Thanks, Connie
