To all pharmacy residents

You are so important

No one tells you it enough

But know that you are loved

By every heart and soul you touch

With your words or with your gloves

The hours you put in

Fifty four or fifty five

The time you spend at work

Literally saves lives

And for the ones that you lost

Know that you did your best

Do not dwell, just learn

Go home and get some rest

Cry a little, it’s okay

It’s been a long day

Talk to people who understand

The sacrifices you make

Never give up

The world deserves your help

Because your help is special

You’re not like anyone else

And you deserve the world

For all that you do

You deserve to hear someone say

“Thank you”

So keep calm, carry on

Take a deep breath

The day is always brighter

After you’ve had some rest

Chloe Haber

“The day that you were born was the day God decided that the world could not exist without you.” -Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
