A Nurse Holds Your Hand

2/26/21

Life measured in breaths and heartbeats

Tiny mountains drawn on screens

Each moving pixel hill

An uphill path back home

To life calling your name

The tubes, beeps, warm skin

Giving hope a line to cling to

The next world extends its hand

Infinite reassurance

While a nurse holds yours

Unsure of your next step

Their heart rooting for yours

I watched the New York Times piece

that showed the ICU through a nurse’s eyes. It shows how much nurses are doing for their patients and the toll it’s taking on them. Thank you to all the nurses, doctors and medical staff working tirelessly this past year to help us get through the pandemic.

Nurses are the angels we need during this dark time.
