Unsung Heroes

Dear Paramedics….  With this poem I admire and honour you
For the occupation you have chosen
Doing a job that so many of us just couldn’t do

You are first on the scene
Dealing with behaviours, emotions ,wounds
Raw human reality of the ultimate extreme

Absolute panic ,violence, sadness, trauma 
Complete devastation of the worse kind
Horrific situations and sights etched eternally in the mind

The job has many rewards l assume
Ones of gratitude,positive outcomes, births
Kindness and great appreciation for the Paramedics worth

Then there are the driving skills required
That alone a dangerous mammoth task
Getting to the scene quickly and safely…. not an easy ask

I have never required an ambulance
Nor had any involvement with one
Yet , l value the Paramedics role above and beyond

Accolades and recognition are more deserving
For the unbelievably important position you hold
What you do in our world is worth its weight in gold

I just want you to know how valued you are
Acknowledging and praising the great job you do
So from the bottom of my heart l say a massive “Thankyou”!!
