My Moms an EMT

It doesn't matter day or night
When off the pager goes
She grabs her bag and her vest
To help people she doesn't know.

I always get a hug and kiss
She tells me not to worry,
She tells me that she loves me lots
But is always in a hurry.

There is someone else that needs her
So I will share her for awhile
They may be sick or hurt or dying
Or their car may be on fire.

As the aid car leaves the station
I am as proud as I can be
I wave and I blow kisses
Knowing someone needs her more than me.

She holds a dying mother
Whose babies are at her feet
She saves a child that's choking
On a piece of meat.

She comforts the father
Whose daughter she pulled from a car
She cares and prays for her in the ambulance
Knowing the hospital may be to far.

My mom does this cause she wants too,
She doesn't get any pay.
My mom does this to help people
And for the life that may be saved.

I meet my mom at the door
When she gets back from her call
I tell her that I missed her
But that I love her most of all.

Sometimes my mom is happy
They saved a life that day
At times my mom is crying
Cause the call didn't go that way.

I hug her after every call
And she says that she loves me
And I know that when I get older
I to will be an EMT!
