NURSE
She was young and so sweet,
her heart bursting with dreams,
She was now a nurse
And part of the team
She felt smart in her uniform,
Blonde curls held with a bow,
Determind to learn,
Give everything a go.
She took him his brekfast,
Yhough he just din't look well,
She spooned him his food,
But over his PJs it all fell.
So she decided to wash him,
And freshen him up,
She tenderly sponged him
Rinsed his hair with a cup.
She patted hin dry,
Felling sad at how ill he appeared,
And styled his grey hair
Gently propped him up in the bed.
When the sister walked in,
She was busting with pride,
And could not wait to be told,
How hard she had tried.
But unsure of the silence,
She asked " Should i dress him now".
"Well No" came the reply.
He's been dead for an hour.
