Because I Am A Nurse… (Poem)

Because I Am A Nurse…

RN  Nira Shrestha Maharjan

I get up in the dawn

Rush to the silent road

Leaving behind my mother’s breakfast

 I engage myself; tucking the beds of patients

When I left my bed untidy

I make inquiry on the patient’s lunch

When mice are running in my stomach

I get busy in removing others agony

Hiding behind my own

I try my best to keep on smiling

Even when my heart is burning

I keep on compromising every time

When my soul rises with ego

I give up my whole life

Managing the place I work

When my life itself

Is so messed

Because???

I am a nurse

Sacrificing every zeal

For serving the patients

Living for the patients

Living with the patients
