TO OUR TOWN FROM THE EMTs

We’re sorry if we wake you in the middle of the night,
but someone in your neighborhood is fighting for their life.
Sometimes someone is choking, sometimes a child in need,
sometimes a heart stops beating, sometimes we watch you grieve.

So if you catch our sadness when we thought we were alone
you’ll know we’ve had a “bad one” and our emotions we postpone.
You ask us how we do it, “I couldn’t do that stuff”.
We’ll keep on answering your call, even when the going gets tough.

Somewhere deep within us, our souls are crying out
“we’re here to help our neighbors, that’s what we are about.”
God gave us something special to help us see you through.
We’re there because we love you, and it is the thing to do.
