Hello,
I'm trying to find a poem or a verse from one of the episodes....I can't remember what the episode was called but the poem was started by a mother who's child had been injured/died? she couldn't finish the poem so the paramedic helped her....the only line I can remember is 'that's my child'
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers!
I barely remember that poem, I don't remember the whole thing, but it goes something like "that was my child" and Shatner finished it when the person starting it got so emotional reciting, I think it was a fire segment...
What are the purposes of signatures!!..
The segment had firefighters rescuing children from a house fire in Washington DC. I think two survived, but a four-year-old girl and a 20-something man died.
They said it was written by Ethel D. Smith in the segment. This is how it went:
That was my child
I had to save
That was my child
No cradle no grave
That was my child
She was so frail
That was my child
Lord knows how well
That was my child
She opened her eyes
That was my child
I begin to cry (Shatner takes over at this line)
That was my child
I did my best
That was my child
God knows the rest
That was my child
