In June we honor our Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) for the tremendous work they do in support of our Members. The CNA’s at the Friendly Home are the closest confidants to our Members. They help our Members live their best lives every day, and they hold our Members’ hands in comfort on their worst ones. CNA’s are the unsung heroes of the work we do, and we couldn’t provide excellent care without them. My column today is dedicated to all of the CNA’s who serve the Members of the Friendly Home. We appreciate you more than you know! Thank you for all you do every day!
Of all the gifts God made
To care for all the sick
Your special role portrays
The reason you were picked
Your role was heaven made
So very long ago
The Angel’s sang with pride
To see God’s love bestowed
And every Angel knows
The radiance of this gift
That God Almighty gave
They see it shift to shift
As in your heart of gold
You comfort healing hearts
At every patient’s side
God’s love you do impart
To honor your hard work
A treasured prize was made
It sits in heaven’s home
On shelves all made of jade
Of all the gifts God gave
For patients to get well
Your heart of gold has won
Truly a Prize Nobel
