\/>\nTo the exhaustion<br \/>\nThat can numb<br \/>\nThe senses and just make us feel<br \/>\nDefeated and alone<br \/>\nDownhearted and crestfallen<br \/>\nAgain we all have known<\/p>\n<p>These negative conclusions<br \/>\nAnd the reason is because<br \/>\nThose of us who care<br \/>\nAnd share<br \/>\nWithb a Love that always was<br \/>\nIn everybody&#8217;s hearts<br \/>\nBut can swiftly fade away<br \/>\nWhen the doldrums come a knocking<br \/>\nand they often do<br \/>\nThats when depression<br \/>\nCan take hold for all<br \/>\nIts true<\/p>\n<p>Life today comes with<br \/>\nA lot of difficulty<br \/>\nTaut Relations and family<br \/>\nOften make us feel<br \/>\nEspecially As we move into<br \/>\nOur autumn years<br \/>\nIn our silent moments<br \/>\nWe might shed a few tears<\/p>\n<p>and enter melancholias<br \/>\nSelf-pitying avenue<br \/>\nWe cast a gloomy picture<br \/>\nDown cast and down hearted too<br \/>\nWe fail to see the miracles<br \/>\nThat we  are party to<br \/>\nWe lose sight of the colour<br \/>\nAnd the simplicity on view<\/p>\n<p>When we appear unhopeful<br \/>\nLacklustre and alone<br \/>\nSeemingky defeated<br \/>\nJust wanting to moan<br

care<br \/>\nThey are sitting up and smiling<br \/>\nAnd are glad that you are there<\/p>\n<p>A fine blue sky above us<br \/>\nThe carroling of a thrush<br \/>\nThe green leaves all a flutter<br \/>\nAutumn&#8217;s cooling blush<br \/>\nThe sunlight on your favourite tree<br \/>\nA poem from the bard<br \/>\nA song you like and often play<br \/>\nAnd when you do work hard<\/p>\n<p>And you feel as though you were valued<br \/>\nWhen you think its  worth a smile<br \/>\nIn your  head at the moment<br \/>\nAnd probably for a while<br \/>\nYour heart bleeds for so many<br \/>\nSleep becomes a chore<br \/>\nEating you cant be bothered<br \/>\nLife you just ignore<\/p>\n<p>Remember you do have memories<br \/>\nGood ones amongst the bad<br \/>\nWhen the children were growing up<br \/>\nOfcourse you have felt sad<br \/>\nBut you had the inner fight in you<br \/>\nA nurse a special soul<br \/>\nYou know the organic nature<br \/>\nOf each patient and your role<br \/>\nHas always been to care for them<br \/>\nTo share a smile or two<br \/>\nAnd you see the response you get<br \/>\nThat strength you have in you<\/p>\n<p>You really are an angel<br \/>\nAn angels often will<br \/>\nFind despondency and cheerlessness<br \/>\nBut better than a pill<br \/>\nYour hand in theres<br \/>\nSo cherished<br \/>\nAgain that inner you<br \/>\nIts your commitment your ancestral bond<br \/>\nAnd really what you do<\/p>\n<p>For others is help to draw their pain<br \/>\nIts not done from adversity<br \/>\nIt might become a strain<br \/>\nBut you are made of sound stuff<br \/>\nYour live in harmony<br \/>\nLove is what you emanate<br \/>\nYour sage authority<\/p>\n<p>You have that effervescence<br \/>\nAbout you mindful to<br \/>\nEverything around you<br \/>\nYou one of the few<br \/>\nHopelessness continues<br \/>\nTo knock upon your door<br \/>\nBut you are on the mountainside<br \/>\nLooking at the  farthest shore<\/p>\n<p>All those innermost feelings<br \/>\nAre a big part of  the whole<br \/>\nIts easier to hang your head<br \/>\nBut you are in control<br \/>\nYour  have emotional intelligence<br \/>\nAnd are conscious of it too<br \/>\nAnd I feel your inspiration<br \/>\nIts just bursting out of you<\/p>\n<p>Ofcourse the angst and agony<br \/>\nComes by to say goodday<br \/>\nBut look in that  mirror of yours<br \/>\nAnd to those words you say<br \/>\nYes I endure hardship<br \/>\nYes I do feel woe<br \/>\nBut with all the enchantment<br \/>\nAround me<br \/>\nAnd the wonderment on show<\/p>\n<p>I can make it I can break this spell<br \/>\nI dont need the clinical stuff<br \/>\nWhat my mother gave me<br \/>\nReally made me tough<br \/>\nLook at the finer detail<br \/>\nOf a leaf upon a tree<br \/>\nThat although most do not notice it<br \/>\nIt has such complexity<\/p>\n<p>See everything in good light<br \/>\nYour worthy and its true<br \/>\nYou are a healing angel<br \/>\nThat is  what you do<br \/>\nAll angels have a bad time<br
