Shyni, My Nurse Today

Morning entered quietly, as pale as silver rain, and with it came a gentle voice to soften fear and pain.

The hours were slow with aching, the road seemed hard to see, yet kindness, like a summer bird, alighted close to me.

No crown adorned her patient brow, No trumpet marked her way; She carried hope in simple hands— Shyni, my nurse today.

Sometimes the smallest mercies outshine the brightest sun: 
A smile, a word, a careful touch can heal what others can't.

When evening folds the weary sky and shadows drift away, I'll keep one quiet star alive— Shyni my nurse today.
