Hospital tiles gleam cold and white
Night feels long in the failing light
You hold wrists on a trembling bed
Letting dread release its thread
Footsteps hush in the solemn hall
Whispers echo their fragile call
Your warm palm stills the wavering breath
Turning terror away from death
Strength rises in the calm you band
Hope grows bold in your quiet stand
Happiness hums in your healing brands—
Bravery lives in the softness of your gentle hands
