THE DUTY OF A SISTER

 

THE DUTY OF A SISTER

She has opted for service, saves a life,
Trouble, sickness, and face strife,
Unfailingly attend duty watchful,
Patient's condition, helping cool (1)

White petticoat, white cap, glove,
A mask on her face, staying, solve,
An oxygen pipe and a saline bottle.
Her eyes on the drip adjust nobly, (2)

A life eyes closed breathing calm,
She adjusts the room, not warm,
Notices fluctuating cardio graph,
She measures stands never laugh, (3)

Adjust, saline drips oxygen, alert,
Measure blood pressure as an effort,
Read body temperature or inject,
The dose of medicine it protects, (4)

The night was quiet and silent, ticking
A watch on the wall she was watching,
Unknown to her, she is praying,
If a patient sees the dawn, lying, (5)

An unearthly love care, tenderness,
Her healing touch, a feeling of caress,
Alert, watchful, and active she sits,
Cleans urine, injects blood bottle, (6)

Her readings, doctor's visit, a hope,
A sick person will see light, a scope,
Improving health recovers slowly,
Smiles of the sister show lovely, (7)

The dawn breaks, bright sunlight,
Life conquered sickness in delight,
A sick recovered released quitting,
The duty of a sister is happy, weeping. (viii)
