Second Home Poem by Dorsey Baker

A nurse feet super tired
She patrols the hospital
Checking on all the old people
They smile
Big smile
When they see the nurse coming
To visit their room
Their hospital bed
Is adjustable
To allow them to
Sit up face to face
Look eye to eye
A nurse for many years
She enjoy
The work she does
Helping the old people
Doing what she can
Knowing that some of them
Their suffering is so much
The hospital it's a source of learning
For her
For them
The old people lonely
The old people suck
The nurse
The old people
The hospital
Their second home
