Good Evening.
LUCY EILEEN O'SULLIvAN

In the guise of nurse She was an angel of mercy Sent to earth to alleviate The sufferings of an ailing world. Wherever she happened to be The sun was there shining, too. Her radiant smile dispersed the clouds From the skies of all patients Who came to her with sick body And tired mind. She nursed their body to health again And their mind though it were Troubled as swelling sea. With soothing words she would bring A serene calm and contentment And revive The desire to live again. An unkind world Oft devoid of gratitude Caused her illness and pain And a merciful God bid her return To her predestined nome-Heaven.
 A Grateful Patient.
