It does have wings

One of our supporters has submitted this amazing poem that she has written about Air Ambulances so we thought we'd share it with you!
 
It does have wings

Hum of the blades like angles you hear
Through the storm, they gently steer

... Quick as a peregrine the chase is on,
Soon be dark as night is drawn

Not much light left, rushing to find,
Your fall has made you confined

Flying on a timer the golden hour,
If left too long situation will sour.

Storm has brewed rain on your face,
They will take you in to a safe place

You fell off a ridge and broke your ankle,
Location is steep too hot to handle

The angel comes into your sights,
Pain is soaring, it takes a bite.

Humming bird hovers decide where to land
Touching down somewhere to stand

Wind from the blades pushes away rain
Those inside will relieve your pain.

Helicopter stunning arrives so fast,
A shining beacon or a life saving mast.

Owl lands precisely, rests on the ground
The sheer relief, you have been found

Your vitals are checked, soon you are moved,
Your prospects have hugely improved.

Crane opens her wings with a bundle attached
Saving your life, you feel just hatched.

Doctors in side use skills, relieve pain,
The unsung heroes, the vital vein.

Without this service the light would be out
Gives life a chance, so it can sprout.

Emergency helicopter angel in the skies
You are our rescuer our crucial allies.
