Posted over 4 years ago I kid around a lot, but I do love all my sister-nurses. I came across a poem and wanted to share it with you. Just One Little Star by E.B. French The years grow better, year by year, Because some nurse in her little sphere, Puts on her apron and grins and sings, And keeps on doing the same old things... Taking the temperature, giving the pills, To remedy mankind's numerous ills. Feeding the baby, answering bells, Being polite with a heart that rebels. Longing for home and all the while Wearing the same old professional smile. Blessing the newborn babe's first breath, Closing the eyes that are still in death. Taking the blame for the Doctor's mistake, Oh, dear, what a lot of patience it takes. Going off duty at seven o'clock Tired, discouraged, just ready to drop. But called back on "special" at seven-fifteen, With woe in her heart but it must not be seen. Morning and evening, noon and night Just doing it over and hoping it's right. When we lay down our caps and cross the bar, Oh, Lord, will you give us just one little star To wear in our crown with uniforms new In the city above where the Head Nurse is You. ..........thanks to all of you for making me a good nurse I love you, sisters!
