Glimtar från ett barnsjukhus / Glimpses from a Children's Hospital

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.
