So many patients, I but one <br />all the jobs But need be done <br />I pussy foot around their rooms <br />silent crypts and catacombs <br />not to wake, another to feed <br />place a pillow under a reed <br />Who's life shall I help to fight? <br />And Who'll bid adieu tonight! <br />Someone waits for me to come <br />yet there's life in the electro hum <br />God's will shall've had HIS way <br />when angels knock to take away <br />cry I because; can't save em all. <br />Some be gone before the fall. <br />A baby breathes, sends a wail <br />Outside spread smiles and hails. <br />Mother greets with a baby kiss <br />And I exult in the glow an bliss. <br />Tears i wipe away with hands, <br />a son they got to till their lands. <br />I hold em tight an ease the pain. <br />Silently whisper; its not in vain. <br />I prop them up when they faint. <br />Look at me like a visiting saint. <br />Will i be able to save him tonight? <br />or hold his hand to salve his fright? <br />Tall, the corridors, I walk in pride. <br />Know that the lord is by my side. <br />I am the nurse, when duty calls. <br />slake the pain! Ill go through walls. <br /> <br />(Islamabad) <br />(May 12,2009)<br /><br />saadat tahir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/angels-with-no-wings-nurses-day-dedication/
