A THIRD SHIFT NURSE'S PRAYER
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
3:50 AM
Third shift prayer from the lips of a Critical Care Charge Nurse
Energy to heal, smiles of hope given to disburse
All is quiet in my corner, but for some, all it not well
Souls handing on tonight to heaven or hell
Breathe…just breathe please, as you believe
We are at the throne of Dawn’s eve
Prayer hands have been busy
Cries of pains throughout the halls, sunken heart, compassionate mind is totally dizzy
I’m up, cannot close my eyes
Blood, codes, machines beeping, ill related bodies, life taken without earthly whys
Morning light, please take the calls of pain away
Give someone who cries out to you tonight, just one more day
Heal thy heart, thy body, thy mind
Give comfort to the loved ones who were sadly left behind
Dinner for me, cannot even take a bite
ER busy, short staff, Heroin overdoses, car crashes have consumed my night
Be thankful for each day
As I type on a hidden break someone cries in agony begging not to take this day away
Goodnight all, world, just breathe and be
