I Wish

I wish you understood the things that I have to deal with every time I respond.

I wish you never understand the things that I have to deal with when I respond to an emergency.

I wish you had to see the things I have to see.

I wish you never had to see the things I have seen.

I wish you knew the feeling I get when there is nothing I can do but to watch someone perish.

I wish you knew what a day on the job was really like.

I wish you never have to know what a day on the job is like.

I wish you could see the tears I have seen from a familiy’s eyes.

I wish you never have to see the tears of pain fall from a family members eyes.

I wish you could be scared, wondering if you will make it out alive.

I wish that you never know what it is to be scared wondering if you will make it out alive.

I wish you knew what it is like to be a firefighter.

I wish you never know what it is to be a firefighter.

For instance not all poems have to flow in rhyme. But if they do rhyme then you want it to flow well.. Keep going, I love poetry.
