A Tribute to Firemen

Trucks washed, dirt and grime gone

No time for rest, it's not even dawn

The bell rings and alarms blare

Stranger in trouble needs someone to care

Dispatch says alarm is for smoke

Jump in the truck, this is no joke

Weather is bad, winds blowing

Lights are flashing red and glowing

The doors open, the sirens scream

Your washed truck lost it's gleam

Your adrenaline flows, emotions high

Smoke from the windows, pound on the door

A warrior trained to deliver the cure

You worked hard to get here, no ordinary guy

You see a child's toy, try not to cry

A family greets you with kids they love most

Another false alarm, it was just burnt toast.

 You muster up a smile, grab your axe

Gonna do it again tomorrow, a hero doesn't relax
