The Great Birthday Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Lady with the lamp people fondly called
The great soul passed away
Her life and service still inspires
All who loves the human beings
All who loves the world of sorrows
All who are in patient's bed
All who are in patient's service
She served the wounded ones
She served with a motive of dedication
She showed the way of humanity
The lady born on May 12 in Florence
Florence nightingale we respectfully remembers.
