1. I’m born of fire, deep in the earth, A treasure sought, of infinite worth. I sparkle bright, a jewel of grace, A symbol of love, in every place.
2. We’ve tales to share, of joy and pain, Of lives we’ve touched, again and again. Our voices rise, in shared delight, As we connect, and bring to light.
   
3. I’m tiny and thread-like, a medical art. I mend wounds, hold broken pieces apart. I’m often painful, but necessary too, A tool of healing, strong and true.
   
4. We’re the heart of care, in the operating room, A vital force, ensuring patient bloom. Yet, our numbers dwindle, a growing concern, How can we nurture, and help us learn?
   
5. You share your knowledge, your skills, your light, Guiding others, making things right. A bond of trust, a helping hand, A mentor’s role, throughout the land.
   
6. You climb the ladder, rung by rung, With knowledge gained, and lessons sung. You strive for growth, for goals achieved, A path of progress, never deceived.
   
7. You step into the spotlight, take the lead, Inspire others, sow a seed. You guide and serve, with heart and mind, A leader’s journey, of any kind.
   
8. We’re stronger when joined, a united force, Our spirits lifted, our course. A motto that guides, a rallying cry, Together we rise, soaring high.
   
9. I’m a surgical haven, a modern space, Where procedures are done, at a faster pace. I offer efficiency, a patient-centered care, A convenient choice, beyond compare.
10. We weave a tapestry, thread by thread, Of safety and trust, where fear is fled. We foster a climate, where errors cease, A culture of care, a haven of peace.
11. I stand in the sterile field, a watcher of life, Surrounded by instruments, a surgeon’s knife. I am part of the careful dance of healing art, A partner in care, from the very start.
    
12. I’m built on strength, a solid base, A platform stable, a resting place. I support the weight, the dreams, the goals, A foundation firm, for reaching souls.
