A Fireman's Light

A Fireman's light There called to duty , knowing the hardships toll When the flames rise and flickering high , out of control Strength courage, as the brother and sisterhood fireman brigade Rolls out the shiny red engines along Gods highway Each is hailed as they go about the towns, turning lights Side by side they fight the flames all through each tough day and flicking night They pull families on there back as they crawl in back drafts, near to walls Thoughts only rendering to save the lives of all they can, without having one fall They don't blink a lash,as they band together pulling one at time To there clinging backs passing them to each other on the ladders, and nets , sublime Knowing as they catch the families to there safety they give there all As they return to await another fireman's call by Deborah Shepard
