"Blue Light Services" by Joan G
Thank you for your kindness
And always being there
To make us feel safe and well
Because we know you CARE
------------------
"Blue Light Services" by Alison H
As the young man lay there panting for his breath
Standing by the window stood the pale shadow of death
As he stood there grimly waiting for his prey
Life stood bravely before him battling for her way
Suddenly, the fever left him and he grew calm and still
For his muttered prayers for help brought the blue lights
And changed the Almighty’s will
Blue Light Services" - Three Haiku Poems by Shirley S
Red lights signalling
An accident has occurred
Medics soon attend
The ambulance arrives
I breathe a sigh of relief
I am in safe hands
Total commitment
Emergency Services
Ready for action
