A Hero Has Fallen...By Carol Blair
Some years ago there was a young man
Who pondered and considered his life’s plan.
He love helping people in their our of need
And could not stand to see folks in pain or bleed.
So as he grew older he searched the land
And purchased a company that would meet his plan.
Medstar Emergency Medical Services was born that day
To help folks in Baldwin County along life’s way.
They answer thousands of calls each year
And help relieve pain, stress, and great fear.
Why his army of heroes served us everyday
In a wonderful and loving sacrificial way.
The work was hard and the hours were long
But he remained true to his cause and strong.
He would risk everything to save your wife or child
In response to the 911 call you dialed.
Then on March 25th Ricky heard a song that only angels sing
And even felt the brush of an Angel’s wing.
Softly he heard the Lord whisper in his ear
Your lat run has been made and YOUR ambulance is here.
Now, my child, you have nothing to fear
For my transport has all the right gear.
My siren will be blowing while Angels stand at attention
To welcome you home when your name is mentioned.
It’s time, my son, for you to come home
And from Heaven’s portals you will now roam.
So in the twinkling of an eye
Ricky quietly let out a sigh.
From the gates of Heaven Medstar 8 is watching over you
Hoping to comfort your heart with this little due.
Watch carefully as you travel down the street
For sometimes you will find a penny lying at your feet.
This penny is to remind you that Ricky’s love is true
And that he will be watching over you.
Pennies from Heaven is what you may find
To help ease your pain and bring comfort to your mind.
So, if “by chance” a penny you may see
Pick it up and remember Ricky is calling to thee.
This is my final dispatch
This is Medstar 8 and this penny is from me!
