A NURSES PRAYER

1
A NURSES PRAYER Nursing is much more to me than
passing pills, making money or paying bills.
More rewarding than one could ever know, for Im
allowed where few others go. I take my role
quite seriously, I know the trust you have given
me. I pray for you, for while I pray you see, I
ask God s presence to shine through me. I
sometimes enter your life with grace, at other
times with unexpected haste. To intervene at
your time of need, with bits of comfort, your
soul to feed. Your sickness I treat with pills
and IVs, in hopes that I shorten the length of
disease. My touch is gentle, His love to convey,
and whisper "God bless you" as I pass your way.
The impact I have on your life, may be small,
but I forfeit the chance, if I say nothing at
all. When you and I meet it is when you re in
need, an opportune time to plant Gods Holy seed.
When my shift is over and my charting is done, I
hope with God s love, Ive touched at least one.
I do all the things that all nurses do, and pray
while I do it that God touches you. -- by
Sharon Kindell, R.N.
