Medium Poems

The Heart of a Nurse

A nurse’s heart is like a gentle flame,
Brightening up the lives of those in pain.
With tender care and a listening ear,
She wipes away every trace of fear.

From the first cry of a newborn’s breath,
To the last sigh of a peaceful death,
A nurse’s touch brings comfort and peace,
She helps life’s journey’s eases.

Though the path is oftentimes tough,
A nurse’s spirit remains steady and rough.
Through all the trials, she holds tight,
To the promise she made – to make it right.

So here’s a heartfelt thank you to the nurse,
Never forget your worth or your worth.
Your kindness and compassion are pure,
It’s because of you, countless lives endure.

A Day in the Life of a Nurse

Rising early, the day starts with haste,
Putting on scrubs, preparing to race.
Patient calls, medication rounds,
A nurse’s job knows no bounds.

From crisis to crisis, she stays calm,
As her mind races to keep moving on.
Time is short, the duties are plenty,
A nurse must adapt to the twists that come readily.

Each patient is a unique soul,
In need of care, healing, and control.
She works hard to make them comfortable,
Creating an environment that is more than just a hospital.

The long hours pass by quickly,
As she goes from room to room efficiently.
She puts whatever it takes in,
To help her patients find joy and listen.

As the sun sets and her shift winds down,
The nurse finds joy in her hard-won crown.
For in her heart, she knows full well,
That every moment she does right, counts for a spell.

Long Poems

The Strength of a Nurse

They walk into the room
With a gentle smile and kind eyes
Ready to bring comfort and care
To every patient that lies

Their job is never easy
Long hours and endless tasks
But still they push through
For they know it’s all worth it in the end

They hold hands when the pain is too much
And offer words of encouragement when hope is lost
They listen to stories of a life lived
And wipe away tears when it’s time to say goodbye

They’re the ones who go above and beyond
To make sure each patient feels seen
Their compassion and dedication
Is what makes them human beings

They see the pain that others ignore
And they’re not afraid to take it head-on
They’re the ones who bring hope and love
When it seems all else is gone

It’s not just a job for them
It’s a calling they cannot ignore
They are nurses with a heart of gold
And an unbreakable strength at their core

So here’s to the nurses
Who heal both body and soul
May we never forget
All the incredible work they do as a whole

Nurse’s Calling

Oh, nurse, a calling so divine,
to care for those who cannot shine,
to wash away their every woe,
to help them heal and make them glow.

To tend to wounds, large and small,
and ease the pain that comes with all,
to see beyond the aches and strife,
and strive to bring new hope to life.

You offer comfort, day and night,
with patience, love, and skill so bright,
you hold a hand, you lend an ear,
you offer solace, wipe a tear.

You see the person, not the pain,
and strive to help them live again,
with dignity and grace so rare,
you give them wings and help them bear.

A nurse, a light in darkest hours,
a beacon of hope, a field of flowers,
a healer of mind, body, soul,
who makes a difference, makes us whole.

Oh, nurse, we thank you from our hearts,
for all the ways you play your part,
for all the lives you touch and bless,
for all the times you truly impress.

May you be blessed and may you thrive,
in all you do, may you survive,
to keep on shining, keep on giving,
an angel on earth, truly living.
