Any grave illness,  acute or chronic is like a curse,

That's when we know the importance of a nurse.

She is the one who helps us to this situation reverse;

Be it problems of heart,  brain, kidneys,  back or liver n bile.  

It is a straining job to do so,  yet she does it with a smile

That's the reason you recover enough to walk a mile.

She is like a daughter,  sister, mother to those who are ill;

Giving medical treatment, be they, injections or many a pill

Overworked she is, tired n exasperated with this drill;

And yet does this she willingly, with a smile,  for years,  everyday.

Thank her with all our heart and at least a flower please offer today

Accept our gratitude dear Florence  Nightingale; for your health we pray.
