Firefighters
To all those who serve,
I thank you.
Sparing yourself for the sake of a stranger,
And placing your body in the way of danger.
All you need to hear is the sounding alarm
And you just do your job, not pausing for the harm.
But, so sadly, there are those brothers who have fallen,
Yet you never cease, but rather have a stronger calling.
You all have such a courageous desire,
Built by passion and strength that will never let you tire.
Your most important objective: to save those in need -
To all firefighters, you are most selfless indeed.
There is a job to be done, no matter where or when.
And there is great comfort in knowing you will be there then.
So, once again,
To all who serve
~ and to your families ~
I thank you.
