Hero

The family of four sleeps peacefully in their home
First there are sparks in the dark
The night begins to glow
The fire dances as gracefully and as high as the eagle soars
Every attempt he makes to put it out comes through
He uses strength, courage and wisdom everyday
He is fearless
He risks his own life to save family, friends and strangers
He is the most courageous man in my life and is my hero
As he has been to many people with burning homes
He stays on his knees constantly asking God for everything he needs
He is strong willed in his faith
He always puts others before himself
He has saved many lives with his quick thinking brain
He comes to their rescue day and night, night and day
Where there is smoke, there is fire, and where there is fire, there he is
He is a firefighter
Some people call him their hero or just plain awesome
I simply call him Dad
I thank God everyday I can still call him my hero, my dad.
