To Those Who Serve Unconditionally Poem by Carol Tepana

This is written for those among us who serve and protect us
and they give up there time to care when no one else does.....

It starts like any ordinary day like you and I
But that what we like to think that happens out in our day/night
We leave home to go to work not knowing what to expect 
For in a short space that we call time things turn for the worse
We are the ones that they call we are the ones who are there first
We are the ones who see it all
Who are we? Do you  know? Do you call? Do you know our names?
We are the ones who will give up a lot but ask for nothing in return.
We are shunned at times then again we are embraced when seen
We do our jobs but they are not ordinary jobs
cause we are not ordinary people in yet we are.
Why do many people forget this or us should I say
All we like is you to understand us, that we are their to help when you are hurt
or are in need of assistant.
To resolve any problems that you may have, as best as we can.
We don't always  get it right we are human after all
