The Nurses in Blue...

Kind of depressing...

TODAY I SAW A NURSE

Today I saw a nurse.

Dressed head to toe in blue

A mask, a gown, some gloves

Fearlessly working for me and you.

She moved from bed to bed

Tirelessly doing all her checks

But even in the midst of chaos

Her kind words to me have great effects

She said I’m here beside you

Please do not despair

This helped calm me down

as my lungs gasped for air

No visitors can come to me

No flowers will pass my door.

For a virus has come for us

That makes our chest, throat and head sore

Yet there is my little angel

Walking around the room

Looking after us all

And fighting off our gloom

I watch her hold a patients hand

And guide them to the light

These nurses truly understand

They’re full of courage and might.

After each one passes

She softly hides her cries.

Then takes a little moment

And mourns anyone who dies.

Today I saw a nurse

A mighty powerful person

A hero, an angel, a friend.

Helping people who have come to the end.

Today I saw a nurse

She stayed a while beside me

That’s when I knew this awful curse

Was going to come find me.

I thought of all my family outside

And those that I so love

And felt a hand grab mine

Through a blue powdered glove

Today I saw a nurse

She was there at the very end

I felt the love pour from her

As she held me like a friend

So do not worry friends and family

Stay safe at home and fight

For today I saw a nurse

And the light she had was bright.
