We met in the SICU at BMC,
A wondrous Islander, its simple to see,
She nurses with ease and comforts the sick,
Skilled in medicine, I laughed at her shtick.
Needs glasses to see and thinks she's a nerd,
Cool is her look, I'd use no other word,
To describe to the world, this sparkling light,
She brightens a room and makes you feel right.
Short of stature, but strong as a tree,
Boosting my patients and helped me to see,
Where essentials for the job could easily be found,
Always a smile on her face, she never frowned.
I got to know her during our 12 hour shift,
She loves to read, so I shared my gift.
I red her a poem and she dug all my rhyme,
The shift was near over, flying was the time.
During my travels, many nurses I've met,
None quite like her, that's a sure bet.
My time at this hospital has come to an end,
Her name is Ali, Godspeed my new friend!
