EMS Poem



Sorry if we woke you in the middle of the night,
but someone in the neighborhood was fighting for their life.
Sorry if we blocked the road and made you turn around,
we just had a bad wreck with children dying on the ground.
When you see us coming,
we hope you'll understand and let us have the right-of-way someone needs our helping hand.
Sometimes a child is choking,
sometimes a broken leg.
Sometimes a hear stops beating and when we get there its too late.
So if you see us crying when we thought that we were alone,
you'll know we had a "bad one" and we're feeling mighty down.
We don't do it for the money.
We don't do it for the glory but for a life that might be saved.
Somewhere deep within us,
our souls are crying out.
We're here to help our neighbors in their hour of pain and doubt.
God gave us something special to help us see it through,
we do it because we love you,
and we care about you too.
