“Answering the Call”

The phone rings, another cry for help,
A voice shaking, scared and by themselves.
Through the panic, you stay strong,
Guiding them when hope feels gone.

Calm and steady, heart of steel,
Through the chaos, you can feel,
Every second, every fight,
You’re the beacon in the night.

You’re the voice in the darkness, the calm in the storm,
The lifeline to safety, keeping hearts warm.
Through the fear and the fire, you answer the call,
Standing so fearless, you give it your all.

A mother screams, her baby won’t breathe,
You count out loud—one, two, three.
“Press down, keep the rhythm tight,
Stay with me, you’ll be alright.”

No sirens, no flashing lights,
But you’re the hero every night.
Unsung warrior, unseen star,
Bringing hope from near and far.

You’re the voice in the darkness, the calm in the storm,
The lifeline to safety, keeping hearts warm.
Through the fear and the fire, you answer the call,
Standing so fearless, you give it your all.

So here’s to the ones behind the line,
The silent guardians, brave and kind.
You may not wear a badge of gold,
But you’re the ones who make us whole.
