Scared, cold, in Pain

The dust hasn’t settled yet

Pinned in, crying

My clothes are ripped, red and wet

Lights ,noise and confusion

All part of this night

I’m going to die alone

Give up the fight

Red lights are flashing

Mixing with blue

A face appears at my window

The face is you

You’re gonna be alright

Is the first thing you say

A reassuring voice

Someone wants me to stay

You could have been home with family

They need you, too

You worked all day at the job

Your sleeping hours numbered two

But you went down to the hall

Hoping your family is OK

Now you’re here with me

And death, with comforting words to say

No time for yourself

No thought for your own safety

Later you may think

Your decision was hasty

Get the Jaws. Watch the gas;

Keep the people away

Get his vitals. Hose this down

Some things I hear them say

You stand in gas, look in my window

Show no fear

I look back at you knowing

Your voice is the last I’ll ever hear

I fade away as you hold me

While holding back your tears

Thank you for being there

You brave volunteers

Every day we risk our lives to save someone elses
