NATIONAL TREASURES (ARMY IN WHITE)
by Robert Hyatt ©2004 ©2023

Tender mercies helping hands
Extended gladly no blaring bands
Loving acts of kindness free
Quietly open for all to see
Yet making no demands

The silent service tending
Priceless duty each one rend'ring
Feed clean medicine applied
Soil removed with ever-lasting pride
These nurses love I'm sending

In hours of painful grief
Providing surrogate in relief
Of that which we cannot bear
The seamless coverage help and care
For ones stricken low beneath

Freeing minds to suffer whole
Freeing bodies to heal the goal
Grief stricken burdens lifted
Army in white their gift unsifted
Salves the sorrow stricken soul

This woeful attempt at expressing deep gratitude
for the Army in White's service to my wife,
and our family during our darkest hours,
is but a pitiful remittance on the account we owe them.
Thank you to ALL the nurses of America
for the excellent and underappreciated job
they do for us all.
