A NURSES' PRAYER The world grows brighter year by year, Because some nurse in her little sphere Puts On her apron, and smiles, and sings, And keeps on doing the same old things. Taking the temperatures, giving the pills To remedy mankind's numerous ills, Feeding the babies, answering the bells, Being polite with a heart that rebels. Longing for Home, and all the while Wearing the same old professional smile, Blessing the new-born baby's first breath, Closing the eyes that are stilled in death. Taking the blame for all mistakes, Oh, dear!

Morning and evening, Noon and night, just doing it over, hoping it's right. lfVhen we report off to Cross the bar, Dear Lord, will you give us -V just one little star To wear on the cap Of our uniform new- In the ward above, lfVhere the head nurse is YOU . . 0 Twenty-se'uen
