Nurse

Uncategorized 1 Minute

what is it to be a nurse

it is to hold the precious lives and dreams and hopes and fears of those we serve

on the tips of our fingers, and in our minds to turn and find the very best we have to give

 

knowing that there are days we will leave with our hearts torn apart by what we’ve seen

and there are simply no words to say but just an empty place inside

and to know the sadness that we feel is nothing to the grief for those that bear the loss

 

but there are days where miracles still happen

living, breathing miracles that restore our hope and faith

and bring us joy that we were part of something bigger than ourselves

I am a longtime lover of words, writing, reading. I am happily married with three children who are tip toeing with adulthood. I grew up in a musical home and was taught piano and in turn all my kids play the piano, and two of them, as well as my husband, are gifted vocalists. We love to make music and my copy of Les Miserables is falling apart from years of beautiful memories around the piano. Chopin and Jim Brickman feel like old friends I can't live without. I live in the beautiful city Denver where I am a nurse.
