A Lady By Night
She was a lady of the night
Only seen in the darkness
A wearer of sexy uniforms
Red white and light blue
Pony tail and sensible shoe
“A wiggle in her walk
A giggle in her talk.”
Heads would always turn
Men pleading her attention
Knowing her for her devotion
Fantastic massage
With or without cream
Dressing, undressing
assistance in the shower
bend down, pick up the soap
She was my lady of the night
The girl of my dreams
She tended to all my needs
Helping to soothe my pains
Strangely at my beckon call
Could be strict
Could be compliant
But was always there
When I needed her
So unlike a wife
So much the other woman
My lady of the night
No money changing hands
Worked the graveyard shift
Nurse Jilly Macpherson
Amputee ward

At this time I can only say that I love this write, I love you and Bravo! because I am desperately pressed for time, it's not that I don't want to say more like I normally would. I have been reading every poem over the past few days and having to multitask has fucked up my flojo. Please forgive this copy and pasted comment. Know this is killing me!!

Then there are those remarkable nurses....those with exceptional grace, tenderness, and generosity of spirit--the ones that willingly take the extra steps to ensure patients' comforts. And, my friend, i am glad that you were cared for by one of these amazing individuals.
David....You truly honor your "Lady by Night" with this inspiring ink!

Not all nurses were the same, some were even cruel - I think she was one of a kind - she had more of everything
thank you for your positive and kindly comments :-)
