To The Nurse Next Door

She is a candle

She burned every night

Losing strength with pains untold

But she wouldn’t mind

Because she was born to serve humanity.

She is batman

She skips breakfast to save a life

Dancing to the tune of a rumbling stomach

But she wouldn’t mind

Because she was born to serve humanity.

Like a priest

She missed important family meetings

Missing out on every scene of family drama and fun

But, she wouldn’t mind

Because she was born to serve humanity.

Like an iceberg

Her strength invisible hid under the sea

Her pains and tears buried under the skin of a superhero

But, she wouldn’t mind

Because she was born to serve humanity.

When humanity speaks ……

The heart of humanity

Sees your effort to restore vitality

Your strength and labour depicts humanity

Of course, you are one of divinity

Because you are born to serve humanity.

That one life saved

That sacrifice made

That tear drop

Only affirms that YES, you’re serving humanity.

Stay strong for one more life

Smile bright for one more heart

Stand strong and speak bold

We continue to tell the world

YES, We are proud to serve humanity.
