Open heart surgery

Smiles and a kind word. a hug that disarms  
Wishings fairy footsteps did they play a part  
The tinkling ripples of your dreams and hopes  
When expectation outweighs the punches that life throws  
  
Prostrate your emotions lay it all on the line  
Togetherness signed and always be entwined  
The candles have burned and a chill in the air  
Wipe off the dust, was it shine or just a supreficial glare  
 
No kind words like plasters can patch or repair  
The tears you knitted and dropped in despair  
An organ so damaged a pulse left so weak  
The ruptured and battered a hurt thats so deep  
 
Can you be the medic attend those so sick  
Stitch back the trust and the love that it needs  
And on your oath  go down on your Knees  
 Open the heart that you closed recently  
 
Repair the trauma that someone else wrought  
Defibrillate all the misuse that was caused  
And be there forever for good and for worse  
For care is a keystone and regard the nurse
