Thoughts !

At this time on this day today im thinking about you and your family and the impact you have had upon me and with that i can say R.I.P


When it comes to death and dying


There's a special gift you share

One that Angels all admire

One that goes beyond just care



It's a gift of deep commitment

One that eases pain and fear

And alleviates the sorrow

When the hour of death is near



Yet this gift is more than comfort

More than nursing at its best

For it cradles every patient

Right up till their last request



In this gift you give compassion

Wrapped in dignity and love

And in honor of your calling

There's a tribute found above



As a tribute to your Nursing

All the care that you bestow

High above this earthly planet

Hangs a Hospice Nurse Rainbow



And this rainbow graces Heaven

A reminder of your goals

"End-of-life-care" you excel at

It's your gift to human souls



To the soul of every patient

Every brother, Mom and Dad

Every household member present

Every heart that's feeling sad



To alleviate this sadness

That engulfs a grieving heart

Counseling and intervention

Set your Nursing skills apart



So within the skies of Heaven

Bows of silver dangle high

On a rainbow made of glory

That makes every Angel sigh



And upon each bow of silver

There appears a nurse's name

As an everlasting tribute

For the Heavens to proclaim.
