Firefighter

She became a firefighter at a very young age Passed with flying colors at every stage Determined to follow the footsteps of her family That is the dream that she did see. She built up her body like any man But had the gentlest hands. The kindest heart that anyone would know And that was something that she did show. She would put the person on her back Looking forward and would never slack Her goal was to save all the lives she can That was her goal, that was her plan. And every time she looked at her children As a mother would often do- and see the pride in their eyes And in the faces of the lives she saved and prevented Them from going to an early grave. Then she would know that the choice she made To be a firefighter would take her spirits so much higher. So to the firefighters I salute you one and all So stand proud, stand tall.
