About Me:: I have been a Firefighter for 3 years now, there are not many Females on our department, so I have the joy of having to prove myself worthy......I work just as hard as any guy and love it when the pager goes off.

Being an EMT

Lights Are Flashing, Sirens Are Wailing

My Adrenaline Starts Pumping, My Heart Starts Thumping

I Can Only Pray God Will Give Me The Strength

To Go To Such Great Length

I Hope I Am Trained For What This Call Could Be,

After All I'm Just An EMT

And Just When I Think I've Saw It All,

I Have Some Of My Biggest Falls

Like The Baby That Was Born Only To Die Moments Later.

I Witnessed The 14 Year Old Mother Mourn

Like The 102 Year Old Man In Cardiac Arrest,

Did CPR Like Practicing For A Test

He Was Down Too Long,

Did It For His Wife Who Thought It Wasn't His Time To Go

Why Am I Doing This?

Surely Not Because Of The Bad I Witness

I Can Make A Difference, A Change In Someone's Life,

But Their Has To Be An Exchange

You Can't Save Them All When God's Angels Get A Call

They Have To Go, Everyone Has A Time You Know

As Long As You Do All You Can

And Realize Your Not A Miracle Man
