An Angel's Hymn

In the solitude of my chamber, I lie

My physique enervated, my soul fortified high

For years, I served with valor and passion

Yet, alas! The time has come, and my fate is sealed.

My hands have held the palms of those,

Who endured excruciating pain and interminable throes

I've wiped the tears of countless eyes,

And witnessed as many ascend to the skies

But lo! The virus arrived ravaging lives

None stood bold to seize its reins

I witnessed the terror in people's eyes

And knew it was time to do my valiant part

So, with a smile and unwavering heart,

I embarked on with indomitable might

Days and nights, I stood a lit cadle

battling the pandemic with a heart divine.

But now, I lay here, enfeebled and frail,

The virus triumphed, and my vigor did pale

My last breaths fast approaching,

And as I depart with a passionate soul.

Never shall I leave in despair or fear

For I have received my honour.

Don't shed a tear, my dears!

Remember me with a countenance that cheers.

For I am but a nurse, chosen to serve 

And I with pride, take my last breath

For I've left behind a legacy that you will be proud of.

And in my memories, I'll forever be your guide.
