Let me tell you of a heroine. By quite another name. She s the one to whom we turn When things are bad— ' Or worse. When our hope is low with pain and woe— We call her in— The Nurse! We look to her to sympathize With our complaints and ills. As with patient smile, and tender hands She administers the pills. She dare not faint, must give first aid Whether morning, noon or night: The gruesome work, she cannot shirk. She ' s got to make it right. She s on the job to welcome life The new-born babe ' s ftrst breath: And she ' s the last to bid farewell, To close the eyes in death. So here ' s to you, true friend in need May heaven reimburse With stars in your crown -when you lay down Your uniform, as Nurse! Cheer and Comfort, Richard Maxv 691
