Clapping their lives

Clapping their lives
Clapping their deaths
Nurses
They need their rest

Clapping their strength
Their bravery
The nurses
That we love best

Ideal mothers
Tested and tried
By the sickness
In our eyes

Take one in your arms
Let her feel your tears
These poor mortal women
Who do not show their fears

I was reading

I was reading
I was dug deep in my unconsciousness
Hardly breathing
Then I looked up at the bright light
In the window
And all of my dark thoughts
Lost their meaning
I’ll be aware
I’ll take care
The thoughts of God
Are everywhere
