Nothing Is More Important Than Relationships, #Inspirational Poems, Touching #Stories, #inspire #inspiration #poems

To Receive our inspirational stories as we post them subscribe to our mailing list by sending a blank e-mail to inspirationalstories-subscribe@topica.com

I sat next to the bed of old man, a friend for over twenty years, and held his hand. Hal was dying. We both knew these next few days would be his last.

We spent time reminiscing about his long and fruitful career as a church pastor. We talked about old friends. We chatted about his family. And I listened as he offered sage wisdom and advice to a member of a "younger generation."

At a lull in the conversation, Hal seemed to carefully consider what he was about to say next. Then he squeezed my hand, gazed intently into my eyes and whispered, just loud enough for me to hear, "Nothing is more important than relationships."

I knew that this was somehow near the pinnacle of his life's learnings. As he considered all of his experiences -- personal, professional, spiritual and family, this one ultimate observation surfaced above the rest: "Nothing is more important than relationships."

"Don't get overly caught up in your career," he seemed to be saying to me. "Likewise, don't use people in order to achieve your goals, then throw them away. No project, no program, no task should be pursued at the expense of friends and family. Remember," I heard him saying, as clearly as if he were speaking the words, "that in the end, only your relationships will truly matter. Tend them well."

Writer Og Mandino puts it this way: "Beginning today," he said, "treat everyone you meet as if he or she were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do so with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again."

At the end of a long life, my friend Hal would have agreed.

A Nurse's Wish, Nursing Poems, Caregiver Stories

To Receive our inspirational stories as we post them subscribe to our mailing list by sending a blank e-mail to inspirationalstories-subscribe@topica.com


To be a nurse requires dedication,
with years of study and preparation.
I pray for guidance and humbly ask
that I will do well at this chosen task.
When illness strikes or pain demands,
and a life is placed within my hands,
give me compassion, knowledge and skill
to do the things that comfort and heal

Suffering makes patients' fears grow worse
and they seek reassurance from their nurse.
Help me see things from their point of view
and always know what is best to do.

May I have a part in some small way,
in restoring good health to someone today.
Let my work be all that I want it to be
I ask the Great Healer to work through me.

Helen Bush

A Nurse Is More, by Richard G. Shuster, Nursing Poems, Inspirational Stories

To Receive our inspirational stories as we post them subscribe to our mailing list by sending a blank e-mail to inspirationalstories-subscribe@topica.com


A Nurse Is More, Why?
Though nobody, can say why, for sure,
Nurse's desire, for service, is pure.
Not for themselves, it has to be for others.
A life dedicated, to their sisters and their brothers.

A Nurse Is More, How?
Through reserves, of strength, care and love,
Nurses take their lead, from the power above.
Above and beyond, their duty comes first.
Their patient's needs paramount, before even hunger and thirst.

A Nurse Is More, When?
When we need them the most, at our times of ill,
Nurses come through, with their care and goodwill.
When we feel we can't go on, and wish, to give up the ghost.
That's when our Nurses, give it their most.

A Nurse Is More, Where?
In the hospital, the battlefield, the clinic and hospice,
Nurses are there, in the ER, the OR, the workplace, and medical office.
Where we are, to go for our care, thankfully, we find Nurses there.
Aging, sick, fearful, weary, we turn to Nurses, and know they care.

A Nurse Is More,
A Nurse Is More, much more than all we've said, or all we can say,
other than, to acknowledge the Nurses, who so brighten our day.
In gratitude, we thank Nurses, their willingness to serve, we find so
appealing,bringing to us, their comfort, wisdom, compassion and healing.

Richard G. Shuster
05/10/99
