Ode to Firefighters
by R.F. Bruning
To those of you Who have chosen To put others first With such quick decision, You should know that We have not left you in omission. We see you as peril lurks, Awaiting its beck and call. No matter the day or hour Your answer has no interval. You race from home or work, Chasing flames as they rise and fall. More often than not We forget to thank you For all you have done And had to eschew. Those actions are not in vain We hold you in renown, it’s true.
