Each day whether hectic or mundane
is a gift to shape and meld us
into whom we are to become.
If we could, we would choose days of sunshine
surrounded by lush, green rolling hills
ending at the seashore
with glorious white sandy beaches.
We would laugh and frolic
with not a care in the world.
But we have lessons to learn
and journeys to complete.
Many days will be filled with clouds of uncertainty.
The perpetual "Why me questions?" asked and unanswered.
"Will the monsoons ever cease?"
"Will the sun ever cut through the dense fog?"
Then unannounced, the gloom will fade as if never there.
The sun will shine
to bring again her warming peace.
A smile will cross the lips.
The stormy days but recent memories.
But changed we will be
by the wisdom from the journey.
HAPPY NURSE'S DAY!
