not so very long ago,
i lost a special friend.
a paramedic was his trade,
till the very end.

he lived his life unselfishly,
he gave his all to others.
helping people every day,
being everybody's brother.

frustration never got him down,
he was always full of zest.
i only wish i could be like him,
he was the very best.

compassion ruled his very soul,
treating everyone the same.
rich or poor, sick or tired,
he called them all by name.

a stranger he had never met,
he spoke so soft and kind.
so many lives he has touched,
no one left behind.

words cannot express the loss,
of the angel he became.
he has gone to mend God's briken heart,
God called him home by name.

me.
thank you jon
