Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

One By One

they come thru
one by one
for their treatment
putting on airs
of courage and
determination

they file thru
one by one
the nurses dedicated
bringing cheer
with compassion
sensitive and caring

their smile
a burst
of fresh air

Pashang Salehi February 7, 2020 at 2:07 AM Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest accomplishment or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around... love all nurses...
