[/font:11075fe5d8] Ok, I didn't know where else to put this so I just started a new thread. This is for any EMS related poems, lymrics, etc. I doesn't matter if you wrote it or you found it somewhere but please give credit to the author if you know who it is. I'll start off with a poem I wrote in response to the numerous questions I recieved about why I decided to go back to EMS.
Why EMS?
The pay ain't that great
Sometimes nothing at all
The hours are long
And a myst'ry each call
So you might ask me
"Why do you do it?"
"Why do you go there,
And put yourself through it?"
My answer is simple
What I do is an art
It's something that's in me
Comes straight from the heart
I do it for baby
And her very first breath
It's for the new mom
Smiling, covered in sweat
I do it for parents
Scared for their child
For all of the people
With thanks in their smiles
It's for the people
The young and the old
Who feel society
Left them in the cold
It's for the gentleman
Who died tonight
I held his hand
As he lost the fight
It's for the children
Crying and scared
I help them feel better
Just by being there
For the sick and the injured
Their family and friends
I'm there for them
Their strength to the end
My time with them, fleeting
An hour or two
But I helped make a difference
And that's what I do
Sometimes it's scary
Sometimes just boring
But some of the calls
Can really be flooring
It's not for the money
It sure ain't for fame
It's just for the people
Who're glad that I came
