My Fellow Firefighters
[]
On September 11,2001, a call came in to the station,
The Twin Towers were struck and it shocked our nation.
I can’t imagine the thoughts of the first responders,
There was no time for the first in crew to ponder.
Who would have thought the towers would fall,
On the rescuers answering the call?
They are symbols of power and pride,
When they collapsed I cried.
I felt so helpless watching my TV,
I had to watch my fellow firefighters flee.
Losing one firefighter on the job is sad,
Losing 300 makes me mad.
Why did they have to die that way?
Who ever are responsible will definitely pay.
I may be handicapped and unable to walk,
But I am still a firefighter at heart.
What ever my fellow firefighters need or what ever I can do,
I will be here for you.
