Saints in Purple Scrubs
March 25, 2021
To the saints in purple scrubs,
You made the pain less.
Even though I had a tube in my arm,
And a wrong in my blood,
You smiled.
Saints in purple,
Sent straight from heaven,
You made the pain lessen.
Saints in purple,
We were not new to the floor,
But I was new to the chair.
I knew the floor and the people,
But not the pain first hand.
Saints in purple,
Who made the pain leave for a moment,
They knew my name,
Yet, I don't remember theirs.
Red band on my hand,
Infusion comes down from my IV.
Saints in purple,
Just as awesome as the numbing spray.
They made the pain go away for a moment of the day.
Saints in purple,
Little bits of the sun's rays,
You made my day.
