LADIES OF THE NIGHT

I've heard the terminology used so many times before,
I always thought I knew what that name meant;
But lately I've come to learn these are different 'Ladies of the Night',
Like the ones into my life the Lord has sent!
 
It seems it was necessary that I be hospitalized for a term,
The best of care is what I constantly received.
Late at night when I couldn't sleep these Ladies were always there..
Being a good nurse is not an easy life, you'd better believe!
 
They rub my back, and bring me tea
And take my excess blood!
I'll tell you the truth, of all the nurses I've met
I've yet to expose a 'dud'.
 
These 'Ladies of the night', and day...
Are certainly not over-rated.
When you watch them work, you soon understand
What it means to be DEDICATED!
 
It can't be just for the pay they get,
They must have a deep-down concern,
To make the ills of this world somewhat less;
And at that job we should all take a turn.
 
But we don't, not all of us anyway,
Some of us just talk or write...
But let me at least share my prayer with you:
"Jesus, please Bless these Special "Ladies of the Night"!
 
 
 
(P.S. "Where's that dumb nurse..?  These lights are keeping me awake!"
 
(I love you all!  Keep it up and some day these doctors MAY learn from you what they don't teach in 'med-school'!)
