A GLASGOW Royal Infirmary nurse who worked through the coronavirus pandemic has been called a superhero – in her seven-year-old’s homework poem.
Gillian Beck, from Maryhill, received the honour in her son Sonny’s poem.
Sonny, who attends Dunard primary in Maryhill, said: “We are doing our school work at home and my teacher said we should write a poem. It was to be about a key worker so I chose my mum because she’s a nurse.
“She’s been working really hard and that gave me the idea. It made her really happy – I think she’s the best!”
Gillian has been a nurse for over 20 years and works in a care for the elderly ward at the Royal.
She said: “It’s been a difficult time for everyone, so Sonny’s poem did really mean a lot. He’s only seven, but does have a good understanding of what’s been going on.”
Nurses are superhoeros, they just don’t have capes
Unwell people eating grapes
Running about here and there
Spending all the time trying to care
Even they always run
Superhero of the day goes to my mum
