Nurse's Day
To care when there is no one else around, or lend a helping hand to ease each pain is surely God’s great blessing that is found in someone just like you. You will remain within the minds and hearts forevermore of those in need. A beacon in the night, you shine your light upon the rich or poor and find a way of sharing in their fight. Some set aside one day to honor you with praise or gifts and yet, abundantly, you give of self for years. Would that your due was celebrations every day. You’ll be remembered in our praise and prayers each day and loved for every smile you give away. Happy Nurse's Day on the 6th and Nurse's Week the 6th through 12th. Larry ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers. Larry D. Jennings MM Award Winner       |

What a lovely tribute to all nurses, everywhere, Larry!
Sadly, at this moment it brings to mind the bombing of a hospital in Syria, where many nurses and doctors were killed. Quite recently. Love this sonnet, with all that it implies. Do carers qualify? I've spent half of my married life caring for immediate family loved ones. Two sons and then my husband until he passed away in 2015. I hope you use Plato's Pearls of Wisdom many times.

The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. "There is no life higher than the grasstops Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind Pours by like destiny, bending Everything in one direction." Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.
