Michele Smith: Poem for DBTH

Michele Smith, Sister on Ward C2/CCU at Doncaster & Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (DBTH) wrote this poem to bring morale to her team. We thought we would share it with you.

^{When the challenges ahead lead you to despair,}

^{Remember your team will always be there.}

^{We can’t hold your hand, or give you a hug,}

^{But we’re in this together, we will beat this vile bug.}

^{We will look after our patients, as best we know how.}

^{They have never needed us more than they need us now.}

^{Not just for their treatment and our excellent care,}

^{But to act as their family when they can’t be there.}

^{It will be tough, it will be hard, there will be many tears.}

^{There will be doubts and frustrations and so many fears.}

^{But together this team will somehow find a smile,}

^{As we push ourselves forward for this extra mile.}

^{We are part of a wheel that keeps turning around.}

^{We will all play a part with silence or sound.}

^{We are different sized cogs that make our wheel spin,}

^{Without each one of us we just couldn’t win.}

^{As Team DBTH we can stand very proud.}

^{Let’s say it, let’s sing it, let’s shout it out loud.}

^{When all this is over, let’s reach out to each other,}

^{And share a big hug with each work sister and brother.}

^{So, this message is simple, this message is clear.}

^{To all of our colleagues, we hold you all dear.}

^{Stay safe and stay well, we will get through this huge test,}

^{Cos as team DBTH, we know we’re The Best.}
