The Nurse

Ever since the creation of the universe
Man is bound to suffer from diseases
Human beings are constantly
Victims of various ailments


Stepping into the shoes of the first nurse
Florence Nightingale forged ahead to combat illnesses
Armed with devotion and compassion
She pursued her mission


Reinforced with patience and perseverance
She relieved many through her quality care
Considered as the founder of modern nursing
The nurse is now adept of Florence's training

The main attribute of the nurse
Is to put the patient first
With great vocation and patience
She exercises her duty with diligence

A profession not only requiring  skills
But also much goodwill
Being at service round the clock
Sacrificing her pleasures and family

She's omnipresent near the patient
Ever ready to be her assistant
Forgoing the joys of Christmas and New Year

She is in the company of the sick
Who can replace the nurse?
To deliver a non- stop motherly care
