Here all along
It took a Pandemic?
An event so epic?
But....
We were here.
Your hand
Your washed hair
Your soothed back
Your tired eyes closed by us
Your linen freshed
The beautiful beat of your heart song under our stethoscope .
Your pulse faintly under our fingertips
Your IV medications carefully watched by eyes of compassion
Why notice us now?
The frail grip of your mortality has you look at us...
a lens into the eyes of our soul to show you what you already know?
It’s love, a calling, a deep longing of OUR human heart to be a light of compassion.
That tear we wipe from your eyes, it already lived in ours.
We are just here to share that liquid moment with you.
That’s all.
The pandemic uncovered.
