An extra hand for sharing
A heart felt warmth so caring
Extra help to take one more step
Extra encouragement to finish one more rep
With all this adversity
When others would run to hide
You step up with utmost confidence
And take it all in stride
You have protected at homes and hospitals
And at battlefields both far and near
Always willing to help someone
No matter how great your fear
There will never be a statue or monument
To seem worthy of your merit
I pray to God for never ending souls
With courage to take your post to inherit
Through all the good and bad and worse
You are still modestly happy
To just be called "Oh nurse"
