Trauma Nurse


A man stumbles in

bleeding and burned.

Unknown to I 

he has 3 children

one on the way

a wife

a family

and yet he risks his life

for another family

up in flames.

A woman is wheeled in

struggling with drugs her whole life.

Unknown to I

she has a loving son

he is an only child

she is all he has,

A child is carried in

bruised and cut

a drunk driver had driven him into a ditch

Unknown to I 

his life is ahead of him

his parents already lost a child

he needs them

they need him.

A nurse always helping before knowing

impacting lives

that is my dream

going to college 

starting my career 

helping others, starting.
