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
