BEAR WITH ME
|
I came across this wonderful poem and I thought to share.I dedicate this to all Nursing Students wherever you are!
BEAR WITH ME
Bear with me, I’m a student, I’m trying my very best.
Bear with me, I’m a student – remember you
once stood in my place?
once stood in my place?
Bear with me, I’m a student, I do not know
it all.
it all.
So please guide and support me
and help me when I fall.
and help me when I fall.
I know that you are busy with a
hundred different tasks
hundred different tasks
but I’m on my learning journey –
my errors will not last.
my errors will not last.
I know the phones are ringing, the
call bells are going too,
call bells are going too,
but please take some time just to
show me what you want me to do.
show me what you want me to do.
I may make a few mistakes – to
this I can confess.
this I can confess.
Please do not be put off if my
confidence is at times a wee bit low,
confidence is at times a wee bit low,
it’s
just that I am anxious and you may even think me slow.
just that I am anxious and you may even think me slow.
So please do not be too quick to
judge me if I don’t
have a smile upon my face.
judge me if I don’t
have a smile upon my face.
I’m
scared and I am nervous about what you expect of me.
scared and I am nervous about what you expect of me.
So let us work together and make
this a successful learning journey.
this a successful learning journey.
