Emergency Medical Service

Almost a year has come and gone when it all started,
It all started about a year ago, when what we gave was not enough.
You complained that what we did would not do.
We held the hand of a dying man,
As his family begged “Daddy please don’t go”
Watched as the tears puddled on the ground beside the body of a mothers only child.
Held a silent infant in our arms as he took his last breath,
We pounded chest until our sweat mixed with our tears.
We wiped tears, and bandaged knees, heard “thank You for saving my Mom”
Looked into the still eyes of a young lady knowing her parents was home waiting for her.
Said good bye to our friends and neighbors and the little lady down the street that needed us so.
While you were sleeping we were assisting the man from the floor for the 3rd time that day.
While you were eating we were pulling the body of the poor young man from the wreckage while his cell phone rang “MOM CALLING”.
My crew can walk down the street proud! Proud to know they were giving everything they had, expecting nothing in return, to their friends, neighbors, and strangers. Proud to say “Yes I was here then” even when you didn’t think I was enough. Those fair days are gone, never to return. In our hearts we know we served with pride, love, and a caring heart to our community. May God bless us all.
Thank You all, for giving so much of yourself. It is a pleasure to say "yeah, we did that" . Glad you had my back. We didn't stop serving, you stopped needing what we offered.
