My turn on top :blob:

[/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
