How can you work with sick children!
Sometimes the tone is almost accusing.
As if I'm the one who has made them sick.
I wish that my job wasn't needed,
that there were no sick children in the world.
But here they are,
and I want to make them feel better,
or at least make them as comfortable as possible.
It's as simple as that.

Glimpses from a Children's Hospital is a poetry book about the life of a nurse assistant in Sweden. The poems are presented in both Swedish and English.
