Hospice Nurse

He lie on his bed of suffering
Death so near

I give him a touch of Morphine
Blessed Morphine, dulls the pain and
Takes away the cruel edge of his fear

Dozing in and out, he suddenly
Calls my name as he
Frantically searches for my hand

I quickly take his hand in mine
I will not leave you, I will be
by your side, I whisper softly

Sleep now, sleep.  I will be your
hope until the end is here

I am your nurse, God gave you to me
To care for in your time of need

The angels draw ever near
I can feel their presence here

There is a light, there is a door
That only you can see

Move towards them now
They shall set you free

I will stay at your side
Until you no longer need a guide
