My Nurses Aide Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

WHEN I FELL YOU PICK ME UP
WHEN I SCREAM YOU CALM ME DOWN
WHEN I CRY YOU ASK ME WHY
WHEN I STARTEDTO BLEED
YOU ADDED PRESSURE
WHEN I WAS HUNGRY
YOU WOULD FEED ME
WHEN I COULDN’T SEE
YOU WERE MY GUIDE
WHEN I HAD TO GO TO THE DOCTOR
YOU WERE MY RIDE
WHEN HE TOLD ME THE NEWS
YOU WERE AT MY SIDE
WHEN I STARTED TO SHAKE
YOU HELD ME TIGHT
WHEN I TOSS AND TURN
YOU STAY ALL NIGHT
WHEN I COULDN’T SPEAK
YOU WERE MY VOICE
WHEN I GOT REALLY WEAK
YOU ACCEPTED MY CHOICE
YOU DIDN’T CRY YOU JUST REJOICE
BEFORE YOU SAID GOODBYE
