.
Not mine diddy
Yet
Waits on mine
tuh cause mine
snug
I vision her
When i rise
Rehears'n linez
'fore her come
to my
Cauze so
i flutter
through mine
dayz
*This muse iz in respect and admiration
for my HUP Registered Nurse who has
been caring for mine ill pneuma, thus
far, for the last 6dayz, duh'aze.
Jehovah God Almighty blessed me, and
now i can't write about her dang beauty ')
Her purty name..'Tanya' ,)
You're never gonna see me in the corner
As if I were afraid of my own shadow.
The Shadow of Death is in the corner,
Although the Grim Reaper is not looking so grim.
He is not dressed in a black robe,
Nor is there a scythe to be seen.
He is a rather dapper looking gent:
Suit, tie, shined-up shoes, gold ring and Gatsby hat,
Leaning nonchalantly on a dark wood cane that is topped
With a figural not unlike a silver cross.
I am not afraid,
I have set God
as a seal upon
my heart.
His love
is stronger than death.
Note: When my younger brother was four years old he would go to work with our mother. She was a registered nurse and worked in a nursing home. My brother would visit with the old folks while Mom worked.
One day while at work with Mom he met the Angel of Death as described above and was not afraid. The Angel talked with him and told him he was there for one of the residents, and a few days later that person passed away.

My wife is a Registered Nurse
At 60, she still had "The Curse"
A Time Machine
Helped her come clean
But our Edsel is stuck in reverse
It's Not About Me
In England my mom was a nurse during WW11
Caring for Americans and British soldiers tis true
Hearing her stories was my inspiration
Registered nurse became my aspiration
During the years I've served as a nurse
My experience and patients have been diverse
Working in various fields as I am very curious
Mental health, dialysis, triage, all very serious
Some situations are sad, I learned not to cry
It is not about me, only their comfort to heal or to die
Of course, when I got home I sometimes shed tears
Hoping our care was sufficient and alleviated their fears
What I have gained is more than I gave
Learning courage from patients we tried to save
Save from addictions, pain, or death
People laughing, smiling despite struggling for breath
Some days have been funny,hilarious, some sad
Serving the Lord and people, for all days I am glad
My decision to be a nurse has made me stronger
I thank my patients and hope I can serve longer
