Florence Nightingale

Though we all suffer
In individual ways,
We have the same need:

For someone who cares
For someone who brings relief
For someone who helps.

I'd like nothing more
Than to have a healing touch
To soothe away hurt -

To provide comfort,
To ease physical pain, and
To lessen heartache.

I am most alive
When I care for others.
I am here for you.
