Angels of mercy always there,
day or night showing you care.
Ready to help if we have pain,
forever composed you remain.

Steady and true you will show,
patients the training you know.
Ensuring we turn after surgery,
all healing correctly is the key.

Never far away while we sleep,
holding a hand when we weep.
Willing to comfort each family,
angels of mercy is what we see.

Assisting when a child is born,
should we cry you never scorn.
Reminding us it will be alright,
standing vigil during the night.

Our soldiers value each of you,
For the unselfish deeds you do.
Giving a hand in times of need,
redressing wounds if we bleed.

You are a rare and gentle kind,
one who brings peace of mind.
Helping everyone to their bed,
knowing better days are ahead.

Thank you for giving so much,
for the endless lives you touch.
Nurses a rare and gentle breed,
gently caring for those in need.
