Since the first day I saw Emily
I knew how special she would be
Slow to wake but quick to “speak”
A child smart with laughter bright
In her eyes there glows a light
That makes all grow weak
Love at first sight, there was no doubt
Just had to figure this girl out
A quiet presence she won't be
Though she can't say a word
She makes sure she is heard
When frustration peaks
Beautiful smile, beautiful soul
Off to school we must go
Off to music, games and art
With happy hands and hearty shrieks
She bobs along to the beat
And that's just the start
She knows she's the cat's meow
The queen of kisses she allows
So much to see, so much to feel
New adventures never cease
Each day you'll learn another piece
And that's when you'll know it's real
Just one look and you'll know too
You'll know this girl just may change you
In her eyes the truth you'll see
One realization that it'll bring
That there's simply no such thing
As just another day with Emily
I knew how special she would be
Slow to wake but quick to “speak”
A child smart with laughter bright
In her eyes there glows a light
That makes all grow weak
Love at first sight, there was no doubt
Just had to figure this girl out
A quiet presence she won't be
Though she can't say a word
She makes sure she is heard
When frustration peaks
Beautiful smile, beautiful soul
Off to school we must go
Off to music, games and art
With happy hands and hearty shrieks
She bobs along to the beat
And that's just the start
She knows she's the cat's meow
The queen of kisses she allows
So much to see, so much to feel
New adventures never cease
Each day you'll learn another piece
And that's when you'll know it's real
Just one look and you'll know too
You'll know this girl just may change you
In her eyes the truth you'll see
One realization that it'll bring
That there's simply no such thing
As just another day with Emily

I wrote this about a patient I recently started working with. I've always felt a special connection to patients that most nurses would avoid simply because they are cranky or difficult. Emily is one such patient. She sometimes hit, kicks, resists care, etc... you name it but she also has one of the most beautiful souls i have ever seen. When she smiles, when she laughs, sings, dances... you name it. Her soul spoke to mine and this is the poem that came of it. I hope that as you read this poem you love it as much as i have come to love her
