Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

A Helicopter Rescue

A helicopter rescue
Sounds traumatic, not just for 
The rescuee, since witnesses 
May suffer even more.

No matter what the circumstance,
There’s drama, which must be
Impossible to reconcile 
With one’s reality.

Yet once the patient’s lifted
And is safely in the air,
There’ll be comfort in receiving 
All the very best of care.

For companions left behind there is
So much to do until
They can make it to the hospital,
So many roles to fill.

Those with luck will make it home, although
That might just take a spell.
Still, while working on recovery,
There’s quite a tale to tell.

Jan Allison October 29, 2024 at 4:13 PM I hope I never need their services but it is comforting to know these heroes are out there. We saw a rescue helicopter on a local beach, the weather conditions were appalling and it was the safest place it could land so the ambulance could reach them with the patient which turned out to be a tiny baby! hugs Jan xx
