For Those Nurses Who Gave All
For Diana,
and all of the others,
thank you.
We laughed and joked our way through school
Fine nurses we would be
It takes a sense of humor, friends
The naked side of life to see.
At last we walked out to our lives
Some never nursed at all
And there were some who saw the need
And answered yes to duty's call.
These were the girls who went to war
And there to women grew
And war laid on a mighty toll
And claimed them, quite a few.
Some died in war, their hands at work
To mend those in their care
And others lived but died inside
And death still lives in there.
The pall of death, a heavy shroud
That hangs before their eyes
The wounded bodies beyond hope
Young souls then crushed by lies.
Their hands could not keep all alive
Their nursing skills were keen
But war inflicts and overwhelms
No rules in that machine.
Now, many hide from open view
Those healers who gave all
And who will heal their wounded hearts?
Who hears their silent call?
Let us as sister nurses rise
And lend a helping hand
Acknowledge those who gave their all
In some far, foreign land.
