Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale,
born on 12th may ,
was a British social reformer,
a statistician by day .

She was a nurse
who had a magic touch;
helped all the men around her
would never make a fuss .

She was called the lady,
the lady with the lamp
who'd come and provide aid
all throughout the camp.

Out of all the nurses,
she was one of the best
earning herself a royal red cross
she was surely better than the rest.

even though it's been
years since her passing
her impact in the world
feels everlastin
