A Loving Heart
~ By Sue ~

I often wonder, if they know
how much I really care
My heart is too tender
to see them lying there

I go from house to house
to care for each and all
It saddens me to see them
so frail and small

My heart is filled with compassion
as I go to them each day
I try to make their life more pleasant
in some kind of way

It is my hope that they can see
how much I really care
and that the love I have inside
is what I wish to share

No doubt the beauty of your soul shines through in all you touch.  A lovely poem here Sue.

Sue

There is no doubt in my mind that they know what a wonderful, loving person you are.  Your compassion and understanding is such a wonderful asset and I'm sure they look forward to your visits.

I saw your king and loving heart in every line of this beautiful verse.

Take care........Sue

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Sue, your loving ways and caring heart are undoubtedly having a healing and calming effect on your patients. I know how difficult it can be to see others suffer.

At one point in my nursing career, I would be called in to be with those patients in their homes during the last hours of their lives. I carried out their critical care needs, but also their emotional ones. I have held many a hand as the soul crossed over. Those were very hallowed moments.

Sending loving hugs to you,
Linda

That's what it's all about Sue, beautiful expression of feelings and I'm sure they all know you have a heart of gold.

Takes a VERY strong person to do what you do...and I admire you for that!  

God bless you!!
