These Hands
These hands have touched the warmth of life
These hands have touched the icy emptiness of death
These hands have felt the numbing pain of the sick injured
These hands have soothed their petrifying fears
These hands have desperately grabbed for life slipping away
These hands have felt anger at senseless death
These hands have searched for answers
These hands have seen comfort in another’s eyes from an outreached hand
These hands find happiness in living
These hands find joy in helping others
These hands passionately hold onto the hope that they never have to do it again
These hands live with the reality they will
These hands have made a difference
Thank you JD – Med Emergency Medical Services, Legacy Emergency Specialists, ER24, Langamed Emergency Management and the Provincial ambulance for being there when we need you the most. It is appreciated.
