BLESSING FOR HEALTHCARE WORKERS
A blessing of healing hands for all our healthcare workers:
Yours are the hands full of experience and skill.
Yours are the hands reaching out with compassion.
Taking time to show care, swiftly taking action.
Yours are the hands gently touching your patients,
You touch families, too.
Yours are the hands that show you care.
You lift the hearts of those who suffer.
Your hands celebrate the joy of healing.
Your hands bless all they touch with the spirit of compassion.
Thank you for sharing your abundance and gifts.
For touching lives and lifting spirits.
Blessings and thanks for the many works of you hands.
