The hands that heal, so soft, so kind,
Each touch, a balm to heart and mind.
They hold the power, they hold the grace,
To make a hospital a warm embrace.
They’ve wiped a tear, held tight a palm,
Through sleepless nights, they bring a calm.

A nurse’s hand is the key.

Nurses keep the beat, in countless ways.
Guiding, caring, with every chart’s glance,
They’re the melody of healing’s dance.
With every shift, the pulse they check,
Bring comfort, warmth, with every tech.
For in their hands, life’s tempo sways,
Balancing chaos, night and day.
The ward’s lifeblood, its rhythm’s guide,
In their strength, we all confide.
Through the toughest times, and joyous peak,
Nurses are the heartbeat we all seek.

A beacon of hope, with a healing hand.
When the night is darkest, when fears start to creep,
Their presence comforts, they’re the watch we keep.
With knowledge and kindness, they guide us to shore,
With them by our side, we fear no more.
For in their light, all worries scrub,
They’re our beacon, our lighthouse in scrubs.
Through sickness’s fog, and recovery’s gleam,
Nurses guide the way, like a dream.

With us in sunshine, and through the rain.
Their badge may have a name, a rank so true,
But the soul beneath, shines colors anew.
So next time you see, that badge so clear,
Remember the heart, the human near.
For beyond the metal, the role they’ve had,
Lies a universe, beyond the badge.

Their work, their care, a song so sweet,
An unsung melody, that’s hard to beat.
Amidst the noise, their harmonies play,
Guiding us gently, come what may.

To the core of healing, love and glee,
The unsung tune, for you and me.

Guardian in white, with steps so light,
Shielding us from the darkest night.

By the patient’s bedside, always reside.
In whispers of comfort, in actions so true,
They guard, they guide, see us through.
From the first light of dawn, to night’s last rite,
Nurses stand tall, our guardians in white.
When hope seems distant, when strength feels slight,
They lift our spirits, reignite our fight.
For in their care, in their radiant sight,
Rests an angel’s touch, guardian in white.

Of nurses worldwide, a tapestry they share.
For in their hands, threads come alive,
Creating patterns of care, helping us thrive.
