In her shoes continued
Remove the dentures gently
wash them in warm water
and gently put them back.
Change the pull ups,
place the john under them -
smile.
Talk to children,
calm their worries.
Hand rosaries,
don't respond to curses.
There is full moon tonight
and you are on the grave shift.
Change the diapers,
call the priest,
calm the fears.
Call the doctor.
In the morning
strip the bed,
change the sheets
and say little prayer
in the hurry for departed,
when you are
eating your breakfast.
New patient is coming
this morning.
Change the diapers,
shave the face,
shampoo the hair.
New patient is coming
tonight -
smile.
Rest your feet.
