SUCCESS

helping one person at a time:
giving them a reason to smile and shine:

touching one person at a time:
never giving up and always trying:

walking with a smile, and a confident stride:
in all you do,do it with pride:

knowing when to laugh, when to cry:
when to smile, when to sigh:

getting to know the family circle:
then for the family, show respect full:

finding out about there life:
if they have family,children, a husband or wife:

find what they love the most:
then encourage them to talk about it brag and boast:

before they ask, come to there aide:
it will be then, when the trusting bond between nurse and patient is made:

do not pass judgement, or give advice:
but be kind. gentle, compassionate and nice:

always on your face show hope:
give them the courage and hope to cope:

think how would you act,if your position was the same:
how would you react to the hurt and pain:

from us they will draw strength:
it will carry them to great length:

in us they trust and believe:
when love and care they receive:

sometimes just knowing that someone will care:
and listen to you when you share:

is healing in itself:
and will bring to the body and mind,immeasurable wellness and wealth:

touching lives one person at a time:
giving them a reason to smile and shine:

success is measured by those who you have touched before:
and those who now appreciate you so much more:
