Even heroes........

Even heroes…..…

(H)e goes into a smoky cellar on his knees; crawls around.

(E)verything fine, he turns to go, then hears a sound.

(R)eaching behind the oil burner, he finds her there.

(O)verjoyed he rushes her outside to clean air.

(E)veryone asks him to relive the rescue; it’s all they talk about.

(S)o he does, but that close call still fills him with doubt.
