The Nurses Who Roam the Halls

She roams the halls at night,
Taking care of us.
She is only but a nurse,
But she is an angel,
She is a hero.
She has those kind eyes,
A special touch,
A golden smile,
And she is the keeper of our hearts.
The moon protects her,
The sun welcomes her while hiding her halo,
For those of us who are not privileged,
To know of her superpower.
She is the Goddess of Good Health,
Many call her Hygeia,
But we simply call her nurse.
She heals us,
She cures some,
She loses a few,
And it breaks her heart....
So this is why all nurses roam the Halls.

Darlene De Beaulieu April 17, 2022 at 10:26 AM Hello Okegirlsrock, Oh , you have done a lovely thing for the nurses. They will keep that poem and frame it and put it on the wall. Yes they do save lives every day. You have done something to touch their hearts. Hugs. Shirley Hudson April 16, 2022 at 3:13 PM Happy Easter my dear friend. They had the kids Easter egg hunt at the hospital yesterday, it was comical cuz they laid the eggs on top of the grass not hiding them....they were lil wee tykes. ?????? Yes all my fav nurses were out there. I gave a copy of this poem to the nurses at the front desk and about three of them came into the room crying and hugging me saying how much they appreciate just the thought of one of the patients thanking them. I told them u save lives every day. Happy Easter.
