The E.R. has just lost a rare lady.
She, who had once saved my daughter’s life
and others from the hook of death,
now gone in heavenly peace
Hale and hearty was she, blooming with smile
full of zest and life, but those were just
a projection of what she truly felt inside.
The pain, veiled under those beautiful smiles
I still can envision her usual gait
stethoscope sheathed on her lapel
symbolic of her solemn vocation.
It never failed to function on her patients,
but it slacken to hear those furtive
throbbing in her heart. Her beauty wasn’t
just a pulchritude--hers was beyond what
the eyes could see: a knack in medicine,
science and chemotherapy
Right now, she’s taking a beauty rest
riding in chastise white chariot
ascending above the earth
beautiful as ever--within and without
and she will remain forever like that
A Beautiful elegy -- only love which traveled
in both direction could inspire such admirable
lines of gratitude. I empathize with your lost,
while being moved by your pen. God Bless and
Keep love alive!
Hi LL
This is beautiful and so touching and I can relate to it
so much. I have had some of the most wonderful nurses
anyone could have. You are so talented. Thank you for this poem..
Love and prayers
