I wrote this poem for my nurses....they were so happy with it...sometimes they are just not recognized as they should be.
 

“Unsung Heroes”

This has been a long tough journey

We wish no one had to endure.

And we pray each and every day

That soon they find a cure.

 
But until that wonderful day happens

And we no longer need this place,

We know that when we come through that door

We will be met by a smiling face.

 
They have a special calling, God put them in this place

They take care of all of us with smile on their face.

I call them my “unsung heroes”, because that is who they are

They sometimes go unnoticed, but they are a shining star.

 
They make this time of treatment as good as good can be,

They laugh and joke , but always doing their job with efficiency

So my “unsung heroes, you are special to us all.

God will surely bless you as you continue in His Call.

Carol French
