Why I Do It

You watch us leaving,
Lights and sirens blaring.
You think of what the call might be,
But you can never imagine what we see.
The pain and suffering of an elderly dying,
As the family watches begging and crying.
You ask me why I do it,
With all the pain and tears shed how can I survive.
In return I say, Why?!
If you could help a fellow man would you leave him in the shadows to die.
If you could would you not want to give a person another breath to breathe,
And watch as their eyes fill with life instead of death.
Sure pain may come with the job,
But in return there is joy of a life that might be saved.
My team is there for support,
When the pain is more then I can bare.
I'm not in it for the glory,
But to watch the smile of a child that will see another day.
And I thank God for the skills he has given me,
So I may do my best no matter what the scene.
