Brooke's Gonna Make You Cry

A Tribute to Nurses shared this morning on the air...

"It Is My Duty" by Dawn Butler, RN(Pennsylvania)

I walk through those doors with pride; Who's life will I save tonight?
Someone is waiting for me; Someone is alive today because of my duty.
Sometimes we cry cause we can't save them all; God sometimes won't let us interfere when he calls.
A baby's first breath when he looks at me; The joy of my first delivery.
The tear I wipe a way with my own hands; The life ending of a gentle old man.
The night seems so dark and the morning so bright; Being a nurse you see life in a different light. Who will I save tonight? Who will hold my hand during their last breath with no fright?
Who will enter this world on my shift? How many mothers will greet their babies with a kiss?
I don't know who these special people are but I will meet them with every call
I will hold them tight and help the pain; I will hold them up when they feel faint.
I will be strong when I am needed That is my job; I am a nurse..that is my duty.
