PARTNERS
Side by side we race through the night,
With blaring siren and flashing lights.
A life’s at stake, a precious soul;
Perhaps too late, or beyond our control.
Times like this have come before,
Never quite knowing what’s in store.
When we arrive, our actions are as one;
No thoughts need be spoken, just simply done.
To soothe a child’s cry, to ease the pain;
Knowing times like this will come again.
Though it’s done many days a week;
The bond between us is quite unique.
Different than that of man and wife,
For we can say we’ve saved a life.
To some it may just seem routine;
The things we’ve done, the sight’s we’ve seen.
But you and I know it’s changed our hearts,
The ways we’ve seen lives torn apart.
And seen life begin new and fresh;
All the while praying we’ve done our best.
Some day another will take our place;
A youthful still unknowing face.
But never will time cloud my view,
Of all the things I’ve shared with you…
For we are partners…
