To Nursing Today (International Nursing Day 2014-05-12) Poem by Dr John Celes

Wear a smile and do your part;
Keep your cheer and do your craft;
Put your soul and keep your heart;
Make nursing, a glorious art!

Say words of kindness with each feed;
To words of sick, you always heed;
Most nurses save lives well indeed;
Help ailing souls whenev’r in need.

Nurses’ touch has healing power;
Nurses’ words, consoling shower;
Nurses’ patience, tall a tower;
Nurses’ look, becalming cover.

Nurses are angels in shoes;
Nurses are health-cares’ heart-beat;
Nurses take and take off pressure;
Nurses, blessing unto the sick!

Awake are nurses while world sleeps;
Ears are trained to hearing beeps;
Tender loving care, she/he keeps;
Smiling, laughing but in heart, weeps!
‘Happy Nurses’ Day! ’
Most lovingly dedicated to all the souls,
Who share their lot with doctors
In the healing art.
