Composed at Swift Current, Saskatchewan for the second annual remembrance of EMS personal who have died in the line of duty, May 25 2014.
Our Fallen EMS
By
Captain Michael Ramsay
Some
have perished in war zones,
And
some in times and places of peace;
Some
have passed from this world to the next, through accidents –
Be
they in ambulance, aircraft, or otherwise;
Some
have died due to acts of Nature
And
all who died have performed acts of service;
Some
have been ‘Promoted to Glory’ through unforeseen events,
And
some through uncontrollable circumstance;
Some
have left small and older children behind,
Some
have left husbands, wives, and partners behind;
They
have all left friends, colleagues, and communities behind,
And
they have all left many fond memories behind;
It
is through these memories that our friends, colleagues, and family live on
We
must not forget them and we will not forget them
Our
Fallen EMS personnel who have given their lives to saving ours.
John 15:13: Greater love has no one than to lay down his
life for his friend
