Healthcare
Healthcare
It's where I've belonged for my
career
Although, some days, I want to
give in and wonder,
What passion brought me
here?
A nurse comments, under her
breath,
"What a Thankless job..."
I can't help but disagree and
in, thinking, I stop
Then I find a patient's
shoelaces
Tied, like a gift, inside my
pocket
Little things & 'Thank you'
notes
Will always keep me walking
The lady who checked, 'one
last time',
On your Grandpa or Aunt Molly
Even though I am sometimes
surrounded by disease & death
Some were born to aid others
And will continue to help
Until our last living breath
