Michael Rosen is out of ICU after 47 days!
That must have been a real battle!
These are the hands by Michael Rosen
(Tribute to NHS)
These are the hands
That touch us first
Feel your head
Find the pulse
And make your bed.
These are the hands
That tap your back
Test the skin
Hold your arm
Wheel the bin
Change the bulb
Fix the drip
Pour the jug
Replace your hip.
These are the hands
That fill the bath
Mop the floor
Flick the switch
Soothe the sore
Burn the swabs
Give us a jab
Throw out sharps
Design the lab.
And these are the hands
That stop the leaks
Empty the pan
Wipe the pipes
Carry the can
Clamp the veins
Make the cast
Log the dose
And touch us last.
-Removed-Michael Rosen is the author of "Going on a Bear Hunt" one of the best-selling
(9 million) children's books ever and fallback book for every Primary teacher!
During "Lockdown" in NZ and around the world, people were encouraged
to put teddy-bears in their windows so that local children could go on a
"Bear Hunt". We did our "Bear Hunt" Easter weekend and almost half
the local houses had a bear in the window.
Michael Rosen was Children's Laureate for two years.
