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”!!
