I Am a Nurse

I have washed his naked body I have combed her thinning hair I have held his hand in the smallest hours And shared in her despair I have watched you getting better I have seen your lows and highs I have helped you back from the brink of death And I've watched you fade and die I am a nurse I am a nurse I have listened while you ranted I have caught you as you fell And I want you to know though it's hard for me I'll still be there for you I am tired and I am frantic It can be a thankless task But I'll keep on being there for you I'll do whatever you ask I am a nurse I am a nurse I am a nurse I am a nurse I have strength to carry on Because I know what you are worth Though we're on our knees we're still here to please The most rewarding job on earth I am a nurse I am a nurse I am a nurse I am a nurse
