She walked into my life through death
as I do CPR compressions on her chest
And i hold my own breath
Praying She will inhale ,as I do my best

As she Crashes time after time
I want to scream and tell her to stop dying
Again I bring her back as her heart I prime
All the while my own heart is crying

8 times she is revive in 2 hours
The defibrillator says shock again
I say please lord show your power
Her eyes open , and meet mine with strain

The ambulance is here and she crashes.  
I try to stand but my legs are rubber
Dear God I speak as lighting across the sky flashes

Today,  three years later
She walks into my Work place
A fishing license she is after
Loving her life , with a  smile on her face

This was a medical call I attended and we brought this lady back to life 8 times while waiting for paramedics to arrive . She is alive and well today .tonight I feel all those intense emotions  I felt that night never know if each time she crashed if we could revive her again .Even though the call ended on a piano note ,I suffer from PTSD on-a certain level from it
