Thank you to the nurses

And thank the doctors too

I can’t even imagine

What you’ve been going through

The hours ever longer

The patients ever more

Equipment ever scarcer

Yet still you face this chore

You’re comforting the dying

You’re tending to the ill

Your kindness knows no limits

You’re expert in your skill

Your families,
