The Caring Nightingale

Three cheers for feisty Florence Nightingale Who took under her wing the wounded and the frail. 'The lady with the lamp' lit up those soldiers' lives. Old age snuffed out her candle but her nursing legacy survives. 23/01/19 Educate Me With Humor - Leader Clerihew Poetry Contest Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich
