The Dream of Nursing in the Arms of Motherhood

Textbooks and lullabies weave your tale,
Mom and student, in a delicate scale.
Nursing school's halls echo your strife,
Balancing roles, defining your life.

Diapers and stethoscopes, a dual chore,
In chaos, finding control, seeking more.
Late studies, early smiles, trials in sleep,
Dreams nurtured, promises to keep.

Lectures blend with a baby's coo,
Lab coats and onesies, a dance for two.
Pediatric books, bedtime tales prevail,
Resilience and love, in your story sail.

Caffeine-fueled nights, lullabies' grace,
Rising to challenges, goals to embrace.
Nursing dreams and motherhood's trace,
A tale woven with strength and endless grace.
