They tend the sick and care for the dying and their job is very tough <br />And for the marvellous work they do they are not paid enough <br />And to the call of duty they remain ever true <br />Our credit and thanks to nurses since credit they are due. <br /> <br />Nurses are caring people and they are kind of heart <br />In war zones and disasters they always play their part <br />In caring for the injured and the dying they always give their best <br />Nurses are never found wanting when they are put to the test. <br /> <br />A Worldwide scarcity of nurses that's what I've heard and read <br />On current affairs and newspapers and truly it can be said <br />That those are not good tidings far more nurses we need <br />So many owe their lives to them they heal the wounds that bleed. <br /> <br />In corporal works of mercy they surely lead the way <br />And their dedication to duty never allows them to strike for higher pay <br />If days are put aside for honouring Wars, Monarchs and Presidents we should have Nurses Day <br />And up and down through every City and every Town bands in their honour play.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nurses/
