The Bravest People I Know
The bravest people I know aren’t celebrities
They aren’t rich and famous
No, they didn’t win the lottery or cure polio
The bravest people I know are paramedics and EMTs
It takes bravery to save lives
It takes courage not to break down in the midst of tragedy
They’ve seen children’s dying hearts stop beating,
And grandmothers saying goodbye to their grandchildren in their last breath
It takes love to hold a sick elderly woman’s hand or pat a frightened child on the head
It takes intelligence to know how much and what type of medicine to give
I admire these people for what they do
They’ve saved many a person’s life
Hey, who knows, they might save yours too
So let’s show some respect for those men and women in blue
Dedicated to Mom, Dad, and the rest of Sutton County’s EMS
