I wish that I could tell you that it is all going to be okay.
That the person you love will win this fight and live another day.
I wish that we can give you the news you want to hear
But, unfortunately, all we can say is that end is almost near.
I hold your hand, and sit you down on the chair by the bed
A tear escapes my watering eyes as I watch you kiss his head.
I gently place your hand on his, and hand you a tissue or two.
I tell you to talk to him like he were hear, he might still be able to hear you.
I wish that we could save them all, but sometimes we lose
No matter how long and hard the fight, there's just nothing we can do.
I wish that I could tell you that it gets easier with time,
but nothing can ever prepare you for losing the love of your life.
As you hug us all goodbye, and thank us for all the care
I wish that I could tell you, that his death just wasn't fair.
Something , however, will stick with me for the rest of my life.
It was what you told us all, before you left that night:
"I wish that I could thank you, but thank you just isn't enough
For all the love and care you gave. A nurses job is tough.
I don't know how you guys do it, how you stay so strong.
To fight to save a person, after a fishing trip gone wrong.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you and keep doing what you do.
You ladies aren't just nurses, you are angels dressed in blue."
