Analysis of Night Angel
She comes only at night
And works through to daylight
The angel brings comfort and compassion
And lets you rest in a peaceful fashion
Her kindness and caring way
Make us love her more than we can say
I offer my simple tribute this fall
To tell Betty what it means to all
So keep on with your nursing chore
Recalling the love we all share
Thank you from all of us
A skilled night angel who makes no fuss
