I know that everyone has probably had enough of poems, but I was told by fellow EMTs and Firefighters to place this on the website as it might mean as much to someone else as it did to them. Please don't judge it to harshly, these are just my feelings, and this was the only way I could get them out. Thanks.
Firemen, EMTs, & Police
You looked to them in your despair
For when you needed them, they were there
Firemen, EMTs, & Police
They come together to offer and ease
The pain and suffering brought upon you by others
Whose goal it was to make us suffer
They ran in and up those flights of stairs
To aid anyone who needed their care
They never checked up, they never looked back
They had a job to do and they were ready to act
"No greater love hath a man....."they say,
Well there was a lot of love laid down that day
And what of us that remain?
Firemen, EMTs, & Police
We come together now to find peace
The pain and suffering brought upon us by others
Whose goal it was to make us suffer
We search for brothers and sisters lost
We would do anything at any cost
To bring them home for moms and dads
Husbands, wives, kids, and many more family and friends
So if those who have struck out against us think that you have won
I would like to assure you that this war has only just begun
You're no longer dealing with the Army, Navy, Air Force, & Marines
You're now dealing with a breed of folks the likes you have never seen
Cause when you attack one you attack us all, because you see
This family knows no county, city, state, or country divides
It's a little thing called pride....pride for the job, and standing proudly for.....
Those who gave all
So pick your battles carefully, and remember we're a brotherhood
And while we took care of those who needed us, you took 343 of ours too
And that will never be forgotten, and we just wanted you to know
That the next time you want to pick a fight we'll be a little stronger
As we'll have 343 of Heaven's finest leading us onward
Firemen, EMTs, & Police
We come together now a job to do
The pain and suffering brought upon us by others
Who underestimated this bond between sisters and brothers
