To become a nurse was always her dream.
The place where she worked as part of a team
Or in a client's house did not matter to her.
The joy she felt by being someone's helper
Instilled in her a peace not otherwise known.
Be it in a hospital ward or answering the phone
Allowed her to feel important and never alone.
With friends at her side, a great number to be sure
She shared a closeness that was uncannily pure.
When not at work or playing a game
Her restlessness was too much to easily tame.
She quenched her desire with various things
Camping, hiking, and fishing, and the communal spirit it brings
To nature's assortment of trees, mountains, and springs.
