Between Two Worlds

She was an ICU nurse.
The work became more familiar each day,
but her heart grew heavier.
Watching patients drift between life and death,
she began to wonder where to find balance
between two vastly different worlds.
Each day felt like crossing a bridge
between hope and heartbreak.
In those fleeting moments,
even a single second of care
can mean the difference between life and loss.
A nurse’s quiet devotion in that instant
lingers in the mind.
Life exists in the in-between—
between success and failure,
joy and sorrow,
hope and despair.
And in those moments,
who stands beside you
can change everything.
