Walking into work
For a job that I love
collecting a facemask
filling out boards greeting saddened faces.
Apart from there families
alone they will be
with no visitors allowed
they have grown to depend on me.
To have that smile
A story to tell
or to hear the words your going to be okay
to lighten their day even just for awhile.
With each passing hour
A patient needing my hand
to reassure them and give them hope
We all are together
Waiting for the moment to go home
The wheelchair arrives
to the exit we stride
that look that thank you and goodbye.
