Then sat for a moment and bowed her head Over the little white desk, I wonder, she said to herself, after all, Am I really doing my best? Perhaps I could have begun the day With a brighter cheerier smile And answered the bells with a right away , Instead of after a while . And I might have refrained from that halfway frown, Although I was busy then, When that frail little body with pale blue eyes Kept ringing again and again. And I might have listened with sweeter grace To the story of six ' s woes! She may be suffering more perhaps— More than anyone knows. And I might have spoken a kindlier word To the heart of that restless boy, And stopped a moment to help him find The missing part of his toy. Or perhaps the patient in eighteen A Just needed a gentler touch, There are lots of things I might have done And it wouldn ' t have taken much. She sighed again and brushed a tear Then whispered praying low, Oh God, how can you accept this day When it has been lacking so. Then God looked down on the heart, the sigh, And saw that shining tear Then sent the angel messenger to Whisper in the ear, — Perhaps you could have done better today, But oh, the Omnipotent One, Seeing your faults doesn ' t forget The beautiful things you ' ve done. He knows, little nurse, that you love your work In this big house of sorrow, So gladly forgives the lack of today For you will do better tomorrow. And the nurse looked up with the tenderest smile Tomorrow I ' ll make it right , Then added a note in the order book, Be good to them tonight .
