CARING HEARTS
As I began my busy day
Mixing and hanging chemo drugs
I heard a soft spoken voice say
"Thank you for all you have done"

I glanced all around
There was no one in sight
But again came this voice
It was angelic all right

We are the souls
Whose lives you have touched
In ways you may not see
But have meant so much

For nurses are blessings
Who inspire and love
With your smiles, gentle hugs'
You are sent from God above

You say we have courage
And that we have strength
But is indeed you chemo nurses
Who go to great length

To touch our hearts
To ease our burdens and pain
Uplift our families
Time and time again

You listen when we cry
When we share our deepest fears
About our hopes and dreams
We have accumulated through the years

And don’t forget the laughter
For that we have surely done
It hasn't been all melancholy
We sure have had some fun!!!!!

But our journey is now over
But because of your attitude
Our spirits have just soared
And we are filled with gratitude

Please never forget
All the good that you do
You help heal people's lives
God bless and thank you
