They awake in the middle of the night leaving safety and comfort.
Rushing into an unknown situation.
They are angels without faces at times.
Guardian angels at the end of the line .at the top of the ladder.Breathing life into those grasping to hold on.
They are someone's mother, father, child, brother, sister .friend.
They are ordinary people,doing extra-ordinary things.
But in the end, they are still human .
Susceptible to the harm and danger their duty presents.Even face-to-face with fear or pain,
These heroes risk their lives at times,
To save those they do not know.
They do the job they all have been chosen to accomplish.All that is asked of us,
Is that a little prayer be said for these silent angels.
We pray that their judgements are guided, and actions protected.
But most of all, we pray they return to the safety
And comfort they awoke from.Those Unsung Heroes .. © 1997 by JoAnn
