I feel it a privilege

I feel it a privilege to have a body.

 To know who I am,

where I came from, and why I'm here.

I feel it a privilege to be a nurse,

to serve people when their bodies fail them.

I feel it a privilege to be at a bedside

when a person leaves their body behind

and goes to their "Father's house".

I feel it a privilege to clean and

care for that body

and prepare it for a grieving family.

I feel it a privilege to wrap up that earthly

body and deliver it to it's next destination.

I feel it a privilege to have

a clear understanding of life and

it's purpose, and to know that life does indeed go on.

When it is my turn to go to my "Father's house"
I will feel it a privilege.

Dear Patient,

Thank you for allowing me to

be part of your life and death.

It was my PRIVILEGE.

Love,
