Who Can You Be ...
To some you’ll be hope
to others strength.
A voice in the silence
a light in the dark.
A hand to hold
someone to comfort.
Just who can you be?
With some you’ll share joy
with others grief.
An encouraging word
a listening ear.
A sad goodbye
a newborn’s cry.
My, who can you be?
Some days you’ll feel glad
and others drained.
A smile for the healed
a shoulder for tears.
A halo shines
an angel disguised.
You’re a nurse you see.
