PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I have been lost for awhile.  My family lost someone today.  I am doing well with it, but I needed to share.

I am an EMT and a firefighter.  I have spent my whole adult life trying to help others.  To stop pain and Death and to save life and joy.

Thank you everyone, for all your wonderful love and support!!
