EMS POEMS

EMS Prayer

As I perform my duties Lord
Whatever be the call.
Help to guide and keep me safe
From danger big and small.
I want to serve and do my best,
No matter what the scene.
I pledge to keep my skills refined,
My judgment quick and keen.
This calling to give of myself,
Most do not understand.
But I stand ready all the time,
To help my fellow man.
To have the chance to help a child,
Restore his laugh with glee.
A word of thanks I may not hear,
But knowing is enough for me.
The praise of men is fine for some
But I feel truly blessed,
That you, Oh Lord have chosen me
To serve in EMS

While You Slept

While you slept
A child cried
While you slept
A mother died
While you slept
A father bled
While you slept
The sirens wailed
While you slept
Bright lights did flash
While you slept
I did speed past
While you slept
Life did go on
While you slept
So peaceful & sound
While you slept
We made our rounds

These Hands

These hands have touched the warmth of life
These hands have touched the icy emptiness of death
These hands have felt the numbing pain of the sick injured
These hands have soothed their petrifying fears
These hands have desperately grabbed for life slipping away
These hands have felt anger at senseless death
These hands have searched for answers
These hands have seen comfort in another's eyes from an outreached hand
These hands find happiness in living
These hands find joy in helping others
These hands passionately hold onto the hope that they never have to do it again
These hands live with the reality they will
These hands have made a difference
