Super-Human Or Not
Some people think we are super human, what little do they knowWe are not any different, we just do not let it show
They do not see the tears when a baby has been abused
They do not see the anger when an abundance of drugs have been used
They do not see the disgust when a bottle of booze has cost
A teen his legs, a girl her pretty face or a life has been lost
They do not see the fear when a loved one has passed away
They do not understand that we deal with this everyday
They do not see the sorrow when we face a broken bone
They do not see the caring hearts when a nursing home patient wants to go home
They do not see the worries when a call comes in that is bad
They do not see the abuse we take and the things that make us mad
They do not see the happiness we feel as a patient gives us a hug
The thanks we get for what we have done to help the ones they love
They do not see the laughter that keeps us going between the calls
They do not see the thirty minute naps when the phone has taken a pause
They do not see the hurt when we feel we have done our best
They do not see the helplessness after loosing a patient that has put us to the test
They do not see the frustration when we have had no time to sleep
They do not hear our stomachs when we have had no time to eat
They do not see our needs when our emotions are turned inside out
They do not see our needs for hugs or understand what it is all about
So we are not "Super Human" that is what they need to see
We are God's little helpers, we are simply E.M.T.'s
