Ode To Nurse Emily Poem by Kaci Tami

Emily, Emily, you are the sweetest thing
I have ever seen or so the song goes
But you are better than that
For you belong to a noble profession
A Florence Nightingale
Tending to the Covid sick
You are smart, You are quick, You are intelligent
A jill of all trades as you adapt to the needs of the sick
Both good, bad and the ugly
You have great bed manners
as you attend and diagnose your patients
You are a phlebotomist
Drawing blood but unlike Dracula
You manifest life, You are kind, You are loving
For whom else will put up with the diversity of humanity
You have to tend to, everyday like me
You Raphael the healer, You are love as you give life
So, Emily, Emily you are indeed
The sweetest song I have seen!
