The last alarm

My father was a fireman.
He drove a big red truck
and when he'd go to work each day
he'd say "Mother wish me luck".
Then Dad would not come home again
'til some time the next day.
But the thing that bothered me the most
was the thingÕs some folks would say,
"A fireman's life is easy,
he eats and sleeps and plays,
and sometime's he won't fight a fire
for days and days and day's".
When I first heard these words
I was to young to understand
but I knew when people had trouble
Dad was there to lend a hand.
Then my father went to work one day
and he kissed us all goodbye
but little did we realize
that night we all would cry.
My father lost his life that night
when the floor gave way below
and I'd wondered why he'd risked his life
for someone he didn't know.
But now I truly realize
the greatest gift a man can give
is to lay his life upon the line
so that someone else might live.
So as we go from day to day
and we pray to God above
say a prayer for your local Firemen.
He may save the one's you love.

A firefighter poem

HE STARES IN THE FACE OF DEATH WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT TO SAVE THAT ONE SPECIAL LIFE THAT HE SO BRAVELY SOUGHT HE HAS WALKED AS CLOSE TO "HELL ON EARTH" AS ANY MAN COULD DO AND HE'S SO PROUD OF THE JOB HE DID FOR PEOPLE HE NEVER KNEW HE PUTS HIS LIFE ON THE LINE EVERYTIME DUTY CALLS ALWAYS DOING WHAT NEEDS TO DONE WITHOUT EVEN A PAUSE HE IS A FIREMAN WITH OVERWHELMING PRIDE NEVER AFRAID TO TAKE A CHANCE WHEN SAVING SOMEONES LIFE OFTEN HE SAYS "IT'S MY JOB" BUT WE REALLY KNOW THAT HE IS VERY SPECIAL AND ALWAYS READY TO GO SO WHEN YOU HEAR THE SIRENS WAIL OR SEE THE FLASHING LIGHTS STAND ASIDE AND LOOK WITH PRIDE HE'S GOING TO SAVE A LIFE.

A FIREMAN'S LEGACY

My father is a fireman, He used to respond to calls, Now he just sits at home and does nothing at all. He says the department is full of crap, And are all egotistical and have too much pride, When I know deep down he loves to ride. Finally the day comes where the pager beeps, There seems to be a fire in the barn holding some sheep, He says this could be a good one and gets up to leave, Little did I know later, I would grieve, Once he arrived on scene there was fire through the roof, “Surround and Drown” yelled the captain, But that was not my father’s gut reaction, Soon they heard screaming coming from inside, There seems to be a child and apparently still alive. He struggled with his SCBA until he heard the familiar beep, Got down on his knees and began to creep, Soon he spotted the child under some burning hay, But this was no time to start yelling “yay!" For there was a hiss off in the distance, This he knew from experience was a propane line, And it would blow if he did not get out on time. He undid his coat and removed his tank, And gave it to the child so he did not die, The fire at this time was raging and wild, He tucked the child under his arm, So the falling timbers would do him no harm, As he scrambled to the window to throw the kid out. All of a sudden the whole house flashed, My father knew it he was trapped, No air, No protection, the end was near, But he still heard the hissing and that was clear, The barn was gonna blow, but could he make it on time? He fought with god, please be kind, He knelt on his knees and began to pray, He prayed for the child, he had just saved, And prayed for the house begging it not to cave, He looked around and noticed the corrosion, Before he knew it, there was an explosion. As I kneel down at his grave, I cannot imagine what he went through, To save the stranger he never knew.
