To A New Registered Nurse Poem by Alon Calinao Dy

There are times
You want to quit in life
You feel there's little chance
But you never lose hope
You continue to believe in God
Doing your best,
Even though you need to rest
And you always say, ''I must do this
For myself and for my children.''

To live a successful life
Does require
Determination and discipline
That's your secret to success
Even though there are challenges
Yet in the end, you've passed the test.

I thank God for your success
Your fondest dream come true
You're now a Registered Nurse
In the United States
I know you've worked hard for it
I wish you all the best!
