Caps and Scrubs
In halls of learning, caps held high,
Dreams woven in each thread.
Tassels turn, the moment's nigh,
With futures to be tread.
Scrubs await, crisp and new,
Shades of blue, deep and true.
Each step in them, a path begins,
Healing starts from within.
Through night and day, their care won't sway,
Hands gentle, yet firm in their way.
Underneath the caps once worn,
Now wisdom in scrubs is born.
From classrooms to caring with grace,
Their journey's etched on each brave face.
Caps to scrubs, a shift so bold,
In halls of healing, stories told.

The Healer’s Path
Gentle hands, steady and kind,
Eyes that speak a soothing mind.
Nights long, their vigil kept,
By silent beds, they've softly stepped.
Heartbeats charted, breaths are counted,
In tender care, their hopes are mounted.
Through quiet halls, their footsteps blend,
With strength and grace that never end.
Tears dried with a touch so light,
Comfort given through darkest night.
Each word a balm, each gesture tells,
In their presence, fear dispels.
Warriors clad in scrubs of white,
Guardians through the weary fight.
On paths of pain, they light the way,
With hearts that heal, day by day.

Eyes heavy with learned dreams.
Notes flutter in quiet air,
Knowledge gained in midnight's care.

Preparation, futures at stake.
Through silent hours, thoughts align,
Foundation laid, line by line.
First steps in halls, dimly lit,
Training's trial, every bit.
