[ Well, Here I Sit On Monday, March 15th, 2021 ]
[ I Was Excited For This Surgery ]
[ But Now I Am Really Glad That It Is Finally Done ]

[ Spending The Night Before My Anniversary Has
     Never Been An Ultimate Dream Of Mine ]
[ But @ Least It Is Just One Day & Night ]
[ Instead Of Nine ]

[ This Is A Whole Lot Better Than My Eleven Days ]
[ Stay ]

[ Completely Different Circumstances Than The Time
     Before ]
[ Back Then The Need For Care Was A Whole Lot More ]

[ One Thing Is Definitely The Same With All Of My Stays ]
[ & That Is The Appreciation  I Have For The Salem Hospital’s
     Nurse’s ]
[ Each & Every Day ]

[ This Time I Am On The 7th Floor ]
[ Five More ]
[ Than The Time Before ]

[ I Had Fantastic Nurses Then ]
[ & I Have Fantastic Nurses Now ]
[ So How Did I Ever Get So Lucky, Again? ]

[ My Nurse Right Now Is A Nice Woman Named Laurel ]
[ If The Head Of The Hospital Ever Asked Me If She Should Get A
     Big Raise ]
[ I Would Not Quarrel ]

[ Nurse Laurel Is So Nice & Polite In Everything She Does ]
[ She Is Not Looking For Accolades ]
[ She Does It, Just Because ]

[ It Is Not In Her Job Description, It Is In Her ]
[ There Is No Hidden Agenda ]
[ Because Her Intentions Are Pure ]

[ I Am Sure There Must Be Days That Nurses Wished It Would Go
     By Quicker ]
[ Those Must Be The Days When Each Patient Comes Feeling
     Sicker ]

[ Sicker Than The One Prior ]
[ Or During The Period Of Times When We Had The Fires ]

[ Sometimes They Probably Go A Whole Day Without Someone
     Saying ( THANK YOU ) ]
[ But That Is Not The Reason That They Do What They Do ]

[ It Is Sad To Think That The Doctor’s Get All Of The Glory While
     The Nuses Do All The Work ]
[ & I Bet More Than  1 Out Of Every 5 Patients Can Be A Jerk ]

[ Then You Brought Up This Nice Nurse Named Matt To Replace
     The I.V. ]
[ That Had Fallen Out Of Me ]

[ To Be A Great Nurse Like Laurel You Must Start ]
[ With A Nice Personality & A Big Heart ]
[ & Not Just Anyone Can Handle This Part ]
