A Caring Touch

by Ida Tomshinsky

Every person
Has a favorite
Time of year,
But nursing
Is always in season,
Because caring
Is a specialty
Of veracity and integrity.

Teaching and educating,
Advising and mentoring,
And more than that, caring
A job with a heart
Should not be hard,

24/7 all-year around.

But it is more –
commitment and compassion
helping those you adore,
With passion and dedication!

Caring and sharing,
Answering needs,
brightening patients’ lives

each and every day
In every way,
With a warm heart,
It should not be too hard
By using just a tender touch
That will mean so much!
